Electrical Shock Hazard
Keep water and other liquids from entering the inside of the
equipment. Liquid inside the equipment could cause an
electrical shock. Do not spray water or cleaning products.
Liquid could contact the electrical components and cause a
short circuit or an electrical shock.
Burn Hazard
Make certain all surfaces to be cleaned have cooled down to
room temperature. Do not use water to clean any appliances
that contain hot grease or cooking oils. Doing so may result in
violent steaming and/or spattering.
After discharge, the Downdraft Vent Module will not operate until the
ANSUL Fire Suppression System is serviced by an authorized ANSUL
representative.
1. Immediately after discharge, call your authorized ANSUL
representative to inspect and recharge the ANSUL Fire Suppression
System.
NOTICE: The ANSUL Fire Suppression System must be serviced by
authorized ANSUL representative per ANSUL
documentation, and in accordance with local code
requirements and NFPA standards.
2. Clean the Downdraft Vent Module and surrounding area within 24
hours.
3. Wear rubber gloves during cleanup as sensitive skin may become
irritated. If the ANSULEX agent or its residue comes in contact with
skin or eyes, flush thoroughly with clean water.
4. Remove as much of the agent as possible using hot soapy water and
sponges or clean rags. Dispose of sponges or rags in a local
sanitary land fill site in accordance to local regulations.
