Operating instructions must be read and understood by all persons using or installing this appliance.
PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL INFORMATION (continued) OPERATIONAL NOTES: REPLACE PREFILTER and REPLACE FILTER PACK indicator lights provide a timely warning that a system shut-down is imminent. The actual time between the indicator light coming on and the loss of cooking appliance power will depend upon the cooking conditions.
