SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - BEFORE YOU BEGIN
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When properly cared for, your new Pro Canopy has been designed to be a safe, reliable ventilation
EN
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.
For General Ventilating Use Only. Do Not Use To Exhaust Hazardous Or Explosive Materials And
Vapors.
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 flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette,
Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on blower or
filter
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the 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 know you have a Class ABC 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.
