WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE
TOP GREASE FIRE:
1. Keep all fan, baffle/spacer/filter/oil tunnel/oil container and grease-laden surfaces clean. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan, baffle/spacer/filter/oil tunnel/oil container.
2. Always turn hood ON when cooking. 3. Use high setting on cooking range ONLY when necessary. 4. Do not leave cooking range unattended when cooking. 5. Always use cookware and utensils appropriate for the type and amount of food prepared. 6. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. 7. Before servicing, switch power off at service panel and lock service panel (if possible) to prevent
power from switching on accidentally. 8. Clean ventilating fan frequently.

What to Do in the Event of a Range Top Grease Fire
1. SMOTHER FLAMES with a tight fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, and then turn off the burner. KEEP FLAMMABLE OR COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL AWAY FROM FLAMES. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE THE AREA AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT or 911.
2. NEVER PICK UP A BURNING PAN You May Get Burned. 3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels a steam blast will result. 4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
a. You have a Class A, B, C extinguisher and know how to operate it. b. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started. c. The fire department has been called. d. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
What to Do If You Smell Gas

To Clean Hood Surface
CAUTION: NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, PADS, OR CLOTHS. ***Regular care will help preserve its fine appearance.
1. Use only mild soap or detergent solutions. Dry surfaces using soft cloth. 2. If hood looks smudged (stainless steel hood), use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the
surface of the hood. Avoid getting cleaning solution onto or into the control panel. Follow directions of the stainless steel cleaner. Caution: Do not leave on too long as this may cause damage to hood finish. Use soft towel to wipe off the cleaning solution, gently rub off any stubborn spots. Use dry soft towel to dry the hood. 3. DO NOT allow deposits to accumulate or remain on the hood. 4. DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface and cause rusting. 5. DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these compounds contain chemicals, which may be harmful to the hood. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean lint free cloth.
For Baffle Filter models only: to Clean Baffle Filters / Oil Tunnel
CAUTION: DRAIN OIL FROM BAFFLE FILTERS, SPACERS & OIL TUNNEL REGULARLY TO PREVENT OVERFLOW.
