General Safety Precautions
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your appliance, follow basic safety precau-
tions, including the following:
Important Safety Instructions
• If you receive a damaged product, immediately
contact your dealer or builder. Do not install or
operate this unit if it has been damaged, dropped,
has damaged electrical wiring or is not working
properly.
• Use this downdraft vent only for its intended
purpose as outlined in this use and care manual.
Do not use this unit to vent hazardous or explosive
materials or vapors. This unit is not intended for
commercial use. If you have any questions, contact
Dacor.
• This downdraft vent must be installed by a qualified
installer according to the accompanying installation
instructions. All installation work must be performed
in accordance with all applicable codes and
standards, including fire-rated construction.
• Keep all packaging materials away from children.
Plastic bags can cause suffocation.
• Do not install, repair or replace any part of this unit
unless specifically recommended in the literature
accompanying it. A qualified service technician
should perform all other service. Contact the Dacor
Customer Service Team for examination, repair or
adjustment.
• Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and
exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of
fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting.
Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s
guidelines and safety standards such as those
published by the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA), and the American Society for Heating,
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.
• Before performing any type of cleaning or service,
make sure that the power plug for the downdraft
vent is disconnected from the electrical outlet.
• Do not leave children or pets alone or unattended in
the area around the range when it is in use. Never
allow children to sit or stand on an appliance. Do
not let children play with a range or the downdraft
vent.
• Do not store items of interest to children above or
around the range.
• Make sure individuals who use the range or cooktop
and downdraft vent are able to operate it properly.
warning
• Never leave a cooktop or range unattended during
use.
• This appliance is equipped with a three-prong
grounding plug for your protection against possible
electric shock hazards. It must be plugged into
a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet. Where a
standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered,
it is the responsibility of the customer to have
it replaced with a dedicated, properly grounded
three-prong wall receptacle. Do not under any
circumstances:
◊ Cut or remove
the third (ground)
prong from the
power cord.
◊ Use an adapter
plug.
◊ Use an extension
cord.
◊ Use a power cord
that is frayed or
damaged.
◊ Use of a ground fault interrupter (GFI) is not
recommended.
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• To Reduce The Risk of a Range Top Grease Fire:
◊ Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boil-overs cause smoking and greasy
spill-overs that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on
low or medium settings.
◊ Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat
or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette,
Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).
◊ Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
◊ Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.
• DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACES OF THE
DOWNDRAFT VENT OR RANGE DURING OR
IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE.
• Never operate the vent without the filters in place.
