*Based on “Kitchen Firesafety Tips” published
by NFPA.
Never leave surface units unattended at high or
medium settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly
on low or medium settings.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat
or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette,
Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on fan
or filter.
Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.
Installation work and electrical wiring must be
done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards, including fire-
related construction.
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 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.
When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do
not damage electrical wiring and other hidden
utilities.
Ducted fans must always be vented to the
outdoors.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your hood unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician.
