FOLLOWING
▯
Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by
qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.

exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel
burning equipment to prevent back drafting. 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 for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
▯
Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

external clock timer or a remote control.
Fire Safety
WARNING
To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure
to duct air outside. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces
within walls, ceilings, attics, crawl spaces or garages.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
WARNING
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.
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.
Do not flambé under the extractor hood or work with a
naked flame. When switched on, the extractor hood
draws flames into the filter. There is a risk of fire due to
deposits on the grease filter!
CAUTION
For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires
with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.
