WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSON(S) OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufac-
turer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer at
the address or telephone number listed in the warranty.
2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at
service panel and lock service disconnecting means
to prevent power from being switched on acciden-
tally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be
locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such
as a tag, to the service panel.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by
qualified personnel in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards, including fire-rated construction
codes and standards.
4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and
exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel
burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. 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.
5. This product may have sharp edges. Be careful to avoid
cuts and abrasions during installation and cleaning.
6. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not dam-
age electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
7. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
8. Use only metal ductwork.
9. Do not use this unit with any other solid-state speed
control device.
10. This unit must be grounded.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
1. 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.
2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when cooking flaming foods (i.e. Crêpes Suzette, Cher-
ries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or filters.
4. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate
for the size of the surface element.
