17. Exhaust Hood:
Have installed and properly grounded by a

The exhaust fan in the oven will operate
automatically under certain conditions
(see Automatic Fan Feature). While the
fan is operating, caution is required to
prevent the starting and spreading of
accidental cooking fires.
Never leave surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite and spread if exhaust fan is operating.
To minimize automatic fan operation, use
adequate sized cookware and use high heat
only when necessary.
