WARNING
• Concerning children:
- Never leave children in the vicinity of an operating range/cooktop.
- Never let children sit/stand on/play with your range/cooktop and hood; or store
items of interest to children above/around these appliances.
• The minimum vertical distance between the cooking surface and the bottom-most part
of the hood must be at least 30” (76.2 cm). Consult the hood Installation Instructions for
the minimum vertical distance in your specific case.
• To reduce risk of a grease fire:
- never leave the range/cooktop unattended at high settings; boil-overs cause
smoking and greasy spill-overs that may ignite; heat oils slowly on low/medium
settings
- always turn the hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (e.g.,
Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé)
- clean ventilating fans frequently; do not let grease accumulate on the filter or other
hood components
- always use cookware appropriate to the size of the surface element or grate.
• TO REDUCE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY FROM A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE:
- CAREFULLY SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray,
then turn off the burner. If the flames do not die immediately, EVACUATE, THEN
CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
- NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN.
- DO NOT try to extinguish flames with water or wet dish cloths/towels; a violent
steam explosion may result.
• (FOR GREASE FIRES) USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER ONLY IF:
- you have a Class ABC extinguisher and know how to operate it
- the fire is small and contained in its area of origin
- the fire department is being called
- you can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
