TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If
you have any questions, contact Awoco customer service at the
email address or telephone number listed in the manual.
2. Before servicing or cleaning the unit, unplug the power cord or
switch off the power at the service panel and lock the service
panel to prevent the power from being switched on accidentally.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified
personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards,
including fire-rated construction codes and standards.
4. 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.
5. When cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling, do not damage the
electrical wirings and other hidden utilities.
6. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
7. Do not use this unit with any solid-state speed control device.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
9. This unit must be grounded.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
1. Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boil overs
cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Heat oils
slowly on low or medium settings.
2. Always turn the hood ON when cooking at high heat or when
cooking flaming foods.
3. Clean the ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on the fans or filters.
4. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the
size of the surface element.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT
OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING*:
1. 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.
2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN -You may be burned.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - This
could cause a violent steam explosion.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
a. You own a Class ABC extinguisher, and you know how to
operate it.
b. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
c. The fire department has been called.
d. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
*Based on "Kitchen Fire Safety Tips" published by NFPA.
CAUTION
1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
2. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced
impellers, keep drywall sprays, construction dusts, etc. off the
power unit.
3. For the best result of capturing cooking impurities, your range
hood should be mounted so that the bottom of the hood is 24"-
30" above the cooking surface (ideal 27"). The minimum hood
distance above the cooktop must not be less than 24". Any
installation with less than 24” minimum hood distance may
cause overheat and damage to the range hood. Such damage
IS NOT covered by the warranty.
4. Two installers are recommended because of the larger size and
weight of this hood.
5. To reduce the risk of fire and to properly ventilate, be sure to
duct the air outside - Do not exhaust the air into spaces within
walls and ceiling or into the attic, crawl space or garage.
6. Make sure to keep the kitchen window (or one nearby) opened
to allow fresh air to enter the house so that there’s enough air
for the hood to work at maximum capacity.
Caution:
This hood is capable of exhausting large volume of air in a short
period of time. A small confined area with low level of air may
cause dizziness, faint or worst - suffocation.
7. Use with approved cord-connection kit only.
8. Please read specification label in product for further information
and requirements.
