SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
A COOKTOP 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 on high
heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes 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.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE
THE FOLLOWING:
A. Installation work and electrical wiring must be
done by qualified person(s) in accordance with
all applicable codes and standards, including
fire-rated construction.
B. Sufficient air is needed for proper
combustion and exhausting of gases through
the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment
to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating
equipment manufacturer’s guidelines and
safety standards such as those published by
the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA), the American Society for Heating,
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.
C. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling,
do not damage electrical wiring and other
hidden utilities.
D. Ducted fans must always be vented
to the outdoors.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
■ Do not attempt to repair or replace any

servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
■ PVC sewer pipe can be used as duct under
concrete slab if allowed by local code board.
■ Make sure all fingers are away from the
downdraft top when it is lowered.
