USE AND CLEANING 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 hood ON when cooking at high
heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette,
Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe').
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware ap-
propriate for the size of the surface element.

PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE
FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cook-
ie 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.

NFPA.
Before cleaning or carrying out mainte-
nance operations, disconnect the equip-
ment by removing the plug or switching
off the main switch.
Do not use the hood with wet hands or bare feet.
Always check that all electrical parts (lights, extractor
fan) are off when the equipment is not being used.
The maximum overall weight of any objects placed
or hung (if applicable) on the hood must not exceed
3lb 5 oz (1.5 Kg).
Always supervise the cooking process during the use
of deep-fryers: Overheated oil can catch fire.
Do not leave open, unattended flames under the
hood.
Do not prepare food over an open flame under the
hood.
Never use the hood without the metal anti-grease
filters: in this case, grease and dirt will deposit in the
equipment and compromise its operation.
Accessible parts of the hood can be hot when used at
the same time as the cooking appliances.
Do not carry out any cleaning operations when parts
of the hood are still hot.
There can be a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out
according to the instructions and products indicated
in this booklet.
Disconnect the main switch when the equipment is
not used for long periods of time.

ronment (rain, wind, etc.).
