WARNING WARNING
- 2 -
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. 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 cooking flambeing foods (i.e.: crêpes Suzette,
cherries jubilee, peppercorn beef flambé).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
d) 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 PREVENT BURNS. IF THE FLAMES DO
NOT GO OUT IMMEDIATELY, EVACUATE AND CALL
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may
be burned.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or
towels – This could cause a violent steam explosion.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
A. You own a Class ABC extinguisher and you
know how to operate it.
B. The fire is small and contained in the area where
it started.
C. The fire department has been called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
*Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.
CAUTION
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 impeller, 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 will cool
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 20” for an electric range, and 24” for
a gas range. A maximum of 30” above cooktop is
highly recommended for best capture of cooking
impurities.
6. Two installers are recommended because of the large
size and weight of this hood.
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 hood,
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. Use with approved cord-connection kit only.
10. Please read specification label on product for further
information and requirements.
11. All demonstrator range hoods (model numbers ending
by D) are not for sale, unless their original power cord
is removed.
