TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR
INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1.
Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer.
If you have questions, contact the manufacturer at the address
or telephone number listed in the warranty.
2.
Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service
panel and lock service disconnecting means to prevent
power from being switched on accidentally. When the service
disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a
prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
3.
Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by
qualified personnel in accordance with all applicable codes
and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and
standards.
4.
Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting
of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment
to prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards such as
those published by the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration
and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code
authorities.
5.
When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage
electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
6.
Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
7.
Do not use this unit with any solid-state speed control device.
8.
To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
9.
This unit must be grounded.
10.
To provide protection against electric shock, connect to
properly grounded outlets only.
11.
Never use the glass parts to lift or move the hood. Even after a
low intensity impact, tempered glass can be weakened without
breaking but can experience spontaneous breakage. In the
event of an impact, inspect glass thoroughly; do not handle if
there is any sign of defect. If broken, tempered glass falls out in
interlocking clumps. It can also, on occasion, break into large
shards rather than the classic tiny piece pattern. Tempered
glass surface may be hot.
12.
When applicable local regulations comprise more
restrictive installation and/or certification requirements,
the aforementioned requirements prevail on those of this
document and the installer agrees to conform to these at his
own expenses.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
a)
Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils
slowly on low or medium settings.
b)
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when
flambeing food (i.e.: Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
c)
Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed
to accumulate on fan, filters or in exhaust ducts.
d)
Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the
size of the surface element.
1.
For indoor use only.
2.
For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
3.
To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced
impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power
unit.
4.
Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will
automatically shut off the motor if it becomes overheated. The
motor will restart when it cools down. If the motor continues to
shut off and restart, have the hood serviced.
5.
The minimum hood distance above cooktop must not be less
than 26". For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom
of the hood should be at a maximum of 30" above cooking
surface.
For a gas range
, the bottom of the hood MUST NOT
BE LESS than 30" above cooktop.
6.
Two installers are recommended because of the large size and
weight of this unit.
7.
To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to
duct air outside — Do not exhaust air into spaces within walls
or ceiling or into attics, crawl space or garage.
8.
Because of the high exhausting capacity of this unit, you
should make sure enough air is entering the house to replace
exhausted air by opening a window close to or in the kitchen.
9.
Please read specification label on product for further
information and requirements.
