Before you Begin

INSTALLER: Please leave this guide with this unit for the
owner.
OWNER: Please retain this guide for future reference.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, observe the following:
a) Use this unit only in the manner intended by the
manufacturer. If you have questions, contact
the manufacturer (800-735-4328).
b) Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch
power off at service panel and lock service
panel. This will prevent power from being
switched on accidentally. When the service
panel cannot be locked, securely fasten a
prominent warning device, such as a tag to the
service panel.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of a 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 flambéing food (i.e. Crepes
Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef
Flambe).
c) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element
or gas burner.
WARNING:
For general ventilating use only. To avoid a fire or
explosion hazard, do not use to exhaust hazardous or
explosive materials or vapor.

the flames do not go out immediately, evacuate and
