SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - BEFORE YOU BEGIN

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When properly cared for, your new Hestan ventilation hood has been designed to be a safe, reliable
EN
ventilation system. Read all instructions carefully before using this ventilation system. When using
kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions must be followed.
a) Use this ventilation system only as intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions,
contact the manufacturer.
b) Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service
disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service
disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a
tag, to the service panel.
a) Never leave burners or 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 flambéing 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 burner or surface
element.
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 dish cloths or towels - a violent steam explosion will
result.
d) Use an extinguisher ONLY IF:
1. You have a Class ABC or Class K fire 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.
