TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSON(S) OBSERVE

THE FOLLOWING:

1. Use this unit only in the manner intented by the manufacturer. 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 by pulling out the unit power cord from the

electrical outlet.

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), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning

Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

6. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

7. Do not use this unit with any solid-state speed control device.

8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

9. When performing installation, servicing or cleaning the unit, it is recommended to wear safety

glasses and gloves.

10. When applicable local regulations comprise more restrictive installation and/or certification

requirements, the aforementioned requirements prevail on those of this document and the

installer agrees to conform to these at his own expenses.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding

reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance

is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged

into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING - Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified

electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to

whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply

cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

a) 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.

b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e.: Crêpes Suzette,

Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.
