2. Informazioni sulla sicurezza

AVVERTIMENTO: Per ridurre il rischio di incendi, scosse elettriche o lesioni, osservare quanto segue:

• I lavori di installazione e il cablaggio elettrico devono essere eseguiti da personale qualificato, nel rispetto di tutti i codici e gli standard applicabili, comprese le costruzioni ignifughe.
• È necessaria aria sufficiente per una corretta combustione e scarico dei gas attraverso la canna fumaria (camino) delle apparecchiature che bruciano carburante per prevenire il riflusso. Seguire le linee guida del produttore di apparecchiature di riscaldamento e gli standard di sicurezza come quelli pubblicati dalla National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) e dall'American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) e dalle autorità locali del codice.
• Quando si taglia o si fora un muro o un soffitto, fare attenzione a non danneggiare i cavi elettrici o altri servizi nascosti.
• I ventilatori canalizzati devono sempre essere indirizzati verso l'esterno.
• Non utilizzare questa unità con alcun dispositivo di controllo della velocità a stato solido.
• Per ridurre il rischio di incendio, utilizzare solo condotte metalliche.
• Questa unità deve essere collegata a terra.
• Non lasciare mai le unità di superficie incustodite a impostazioni elevate. Le bolle d'aria causano fumo e fuoriuscite di grasso che potrebbero incendiarsi. Riscaldare gli oli lentamente a impostazioni basse o medie.
• Accendere sempre la cappa quando si cuoce a fuoco alto o quando si cuociono cibi flambé.
• Pulire frequentemente le ventole di ventilazione. Non lasciare che il grasso si accumuli sulla ventola o sul filtro.
• Utilizzare una padella di dimensioni adeguate. Utilizzare sempre pentole adatte alle dimensioni dell'elemento di superficie.
