The Powerpack Insert models BBN3306SS and BBN3306SSC are designed for domestic cooking purposes only. They are intended to be installed inside a cabinet and mounted centered laterally over the cooktop burners. The unit must be secured to wall studs or other wooden framework behind the drywall to support its weight. Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage to the countertop or cooktop.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Reducing the Risk of a Range Top Grease Fire:

   • Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Heat
     oils slowly on low or medium settings to avoid boilovers that may ignite.

   • Clean ventilating fans frequently to prevent grease accumulation.

   • Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

2. In the Event of a Range Top Grease Fire:

   • If flames occur, smother them with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray. Turn off the burner and 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 as you may get burned.
   • Do not use water, wet dishcloths, or towels on a grease fire as it can result in a violent steam explosion.
   • Only use an extinguisher if you have a Class ABC extinguisher, know how to operate it, the fire is small and contained, the fire department has been called, and you can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

3. Recommended Tools and Accessories:

   • To install the ductwork (ducted installation only), use metal ductwork to reduce the risk of fire. Install a wall cap or roof cap (sold separately) and connect the metal ductwork to it, sealing the joints between ductwork sections with 2 metal foil duct tape.
   • Remove the adapter/damper and 6-inch round damper.
