WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury when using your unit, observe the
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.
• 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.
WARNING!: To reduce the risk of fire, use only
metal ductwork.
CAUTION!: 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 or
ceilings, or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons, observe the following:
• Use this unit only in the manner for which it is
intended. If you have any questions, contact the
manufacturer.
• Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off
at service panel and lock service panel 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.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGETOP GREASE
FIRE:
1. Never leave surface units unattended at high
setting. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or
medium settings.
2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when cooking flaming foods. (i.e. Crepes suzette,
Cherries jubilee, Peppercorn beef flambé).
3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
4. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.
