by qualified technician(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated
construction.
• When cutting or drilling into walls or ceilings, please
be careful not to damage any eletrical wirings and
other hidden utilities.
• Verify and ensure the rated voltage and frequency
of the range hood is in compliance with the nearby
power source.
• Always unplug the range hood from the power
source before cleaning it.
• Use the range hood only as directed in this manual.
Do not use it to vent hazardous or explosive
materials or vapors.
• Clean the baffle filters regularly to prevent it become
blocked or clogged. Good air flow is essential for the
range hood to work propoerly.

heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette,
Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
