now be swung open for cleaning the
wheel.
For installations in which the fan is connected to a range hood, or if an exhaust grille connected to the fan is located near
the cooking surface (as shown below), be sure to observe the following safety warnings:
WARNING
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 range hood ON when cooking at high
heat or flambeing food.
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.

IMPACT OF EXHAUST FANS
In especially tight homes heated with
naturally vented appliances, such as
gas, oil or wood-fired furnaces, boilers,
stoves or fireplaces, the exhaust system
may produce sufficient negative pressure
indoors to induce the backdrafting
of flue gases.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE-TOP
GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
A.
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.
B.
NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.
C.
DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels, because a violent steam
explosion could result.
D.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY
GALVANIZED STEEL DUCTWORK WHEN REQUIRED
TO USE METAL DUCT.
NOTE: If only rigid ducting is allowed, a metal sound attenuator
shall be installed between the fan and the range hood.
NOTE: If the fan is not connected to a range hood or a grille in
the vicinity of the cooking surface, other approved ducting may
be used as described in the "Duct Connections" section of basic
instructions.

a Recommended Procedure for Safety
Inspection of an Existing Appliance
Installation. This procedure should be
followed to determine the presence
of adequate combustion air while all
exhaust fans are operating at maximum
speed and all doors and windows are
closed.
In the event that backdrafting occurs,
steps must be taken to provide sufficient
combustion air to the furnace or boiler,
following the guidelines of the National
Fuel Gas Code and all state and local
codes.
