  • Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
  • Ensure sufficient air for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel-burning equipment to prevent back drafting. 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 of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and local code authorities.

Range Hood Installation Warnings

For installations in which the fan is connected to a range hood, or if an exhaust grill connected to the fan is located above or near the cooking surface, be sure to observe the following safety warnings:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK (galvanized steel ductwork is recommended).

Use only galvanized steel ductwork in accordance with all applicable codes. If the fan is not connected to a range hood or a grill in the vicinity of the cooking surface, other approved ducting may be used. Check your local codes.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

• Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spills that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
• Always turn the hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food.
• Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the fan or filter.
• Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

• SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
• NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.
• DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a violent steam explosion will result.
• Use an extinguisher ONLY if: You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and know how to operate it; the fire is small and contained; the fire department is being called; and you can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
