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 manufacturer.

If  you  have  questions,  contact  the  manufacturer  at  the  ad-

dress 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 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 a qual-

ified  person(s)  in  accordance  with  all  applicable  codes  and

standards, including fire-rated construction.

4.  Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhaust-

ing of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equip-

ment  to  prevent  backdrafting.  Follow  the  heating  equipment

manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those

published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA),

and  the American  Society  of  Heating,  Refrigeration  and Air

Conditioning  Engineers  (ASHRAE),  and  the  local  code  au-

thorities.

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-

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.

TO  REDUCE THE  RISK  OF  INJURY TO  PERSONS  IN THE

EVENT  OF  A  RANGE TOP  GREASE  FIRE,  OBSERVE THE

FOLLOWING:*
1.  SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or

metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PRE-
