Do Not Use To Exhaust Hazardous Or Explosive Materials And Vapors. What to Do 1. Begin by ensuring proper installation and grounding of the unit by a qualified technician. Have the installer show you where the fuse box or circuit breaker panel is located so that you know how and where to turn off power. 2. Always be certain that nothing will interfere with the vent intake. 3. Use the vent system for its intended purpose only as outlined in this manual. 4. Clean the filters and all grease-laden surfaces often to prevent grease fires and maintain performance. 5. If the cooktop and vent hood are near a window, use an appropriate window treatment. Avoid long drapes or other window coverings that could blow over the cooktop and vent hood, resulting in a fire hazard. 6. Always run the blower whenever a cooktop is operating. What Not to Do 1. Never operate the IVS without the filters in place. 2. Do not operate the blower if a flame or flare-up develops. In the event of a flame, immediately turn off the blower. Smother the flame or use an appropriate class dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. 3. Never leave the appliance unattended when using high heat settings. Boil-overs and greasy spills may smoke and/or ignite. 4. Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area where the cooktop and hood are in use. Never allow children to sit or stand on an appliance. Do not let children play with a cooktop or vent hood. 5. CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children above or at the back of the cooktop or vent, as they could climb on the appliance to reach items and be injured. 6. Do not repair or replace any part of the IVS unless specifically recommended in literature accompanying it. All service should be referred to a qualified technician. 7. Do not use water on grease fires. A violent steam explosion may result. Also, avoid using wet pot holders, sponges or clothes, as steam burn may occur.
