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, as shown, be sure to observe the following safety warning:

Warning

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK

(Use only galvanized steel ductwork)
Use only galvanized steel ductwork in accordance with all applicable codes.
(Note: 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.)

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 hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé’).
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.

WARNING
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 – a violent steam explosion will result.
D. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

1. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
2. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
3. The fire department is being called.
4. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
