WARNING  

 

CAUTION  

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR IN-

JURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1.  Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufac-

turer. 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 the service disconnecting means to prevent

power  from  being  switched  on  accidentally.  When  the  ser-

vice 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 (including switch loca-

tion)  must  be  done  by  a  qualified  person(s)  in  accordance

with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated

construction.

4.  Provide sufficient air for proper combustion and exhausting of

gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment

to  prevent  backdrafting.  Follow  the  combustion  equipment

standards such as those published by the National Fire Pro-

tection Association (NFPA), the American Society for Heat-

ing, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE),

and local codes.

5.  This product may have sharp edges. Be careful to avoid cuts

and abrasions during installation and cleaning.

8.  Use only metal ductwork.
9.  Do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.
10. As an alternative, this product may be installed with the UL-

approved  cord  kit  designated  for  the  product,  following in-

structions packed with the cord kit.

11. This unit must be grounded.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
1.  Never  leave  surface  units  unattended  at  high  settings.

Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ig-

nite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

2.  Always  turn  hood  ON  when  cooking  at  high  heat  or  when

cooking flaming foods (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,

Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

3.  Clean  ventilating  fans  frequently.  Grease  should  not  be  al-

lowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

4.  Use  proper  pan  size. Always  use  cookware  appropriate  for

the size of the surface element.
