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 raised 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 raised vent. • Do not store items of interest to children above or around the range. • Make sure individuals who use the range or cooktop and raised vent are able to operate it properly. • 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.
