USE AND CARE
CLEANING
Clean your hood with a mild detergent suitable for painted surfac-
es. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLOTH, STEEL WOOL PADS OR
SCOURING POWDERS.
Fan assembly may be vacuumed. Fan assembly is permanently
lubricated, and never needs oiling.
HOW TO AVOID A COMMON RANGE-TOP GREASE FIRE
• Your range hood provides a protective barrier between the
cooking surface and the cabinets.
• Keep fan, filters and grease laden surfaces CLEAN according
to instructions.
• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat to keep the
cooking area and the hood cooler.
• Use high heat settings only when necessary.
• Never leave cooking surface unattended. Boil-over causes
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• Always use adequate-sized utensils.
• If preparing flaming foods, such as Cherries Jubilee, always
turn hood ON to HIGH to prevent a high heat situation which
can cause damage or fire.
HOW TO EXTINGUISH A COMMON RANGE-TOP GREASE
FIRE
• Never pick up a flaming pan. If dropped, flames can spread
quickly.
• DO NOT USE WATER! A violent steam explosion may result.
Wet dishcloths or towels are also dangerous.
• Smother flames with a close fitting lid, cookie sheet or metal
tray.
• Flaming grease can also be extinguished with baking soda or
a multi-purpose dry chemical extinguisher.
• Turn off surface units - if you can do so without getting burned.
