The combustion air flow needed for safe operation of fuel-burning equipment may be affected by this
unit’s operation. 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 of
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
•
Before servicing or cleaning unit, unplug the power cord or switch power OFF at service panel and lock
service panel to pre-vent power from being switched ON accidentally.

Clean grease laden surfaces frequently. To reduce the risk of fire and to disperse air properly, make sure
to vent air outdoors. DO NOT vent exhaust into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceiling, attics or
garages.
•
Use only metal ductwork and this unit MUST be grounded.
•
Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the duct to prevent back
drafting.
•
When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, be careful not to damage electrical wiring or other hidden
utilities.
•
All electrical wiring must be properly installed, insulated and grounded.
•
Old duct work should be cleaned or replaced if necessary to avoid the possibility of a grease fire.

Check all joints on duct work to insure proper connection and all joints should be properly taped.
•
Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the vendor.
To reduce the risk of a stove top grease fire:
•
Keep all fan, baffle, spaces, filter, grease tunnel, oil container and grease-laden surfaces clean. Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on fan, baffle, spaces, filter, and grease tunnel and oil container.
•
Always turn range hood ON when cooking at high heat or when cooking flaming foods.
•
Use high settings on cooking range only when necessary.
•
Never leave surface units (countertop/stove) unattended at high settings. Boil overs cause smoking and
greasy spillover that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
•
Clean ventilating fan frequently.
