It is the responsibility of the owner to supply voltage to the unit according to the specifications on the back of this sheet. entless certification is for all food items except for foods classified as “fatty raw proteins.” Such foods include bone-in, V skin-on chicken, raw hamburger meat, raw bacon, raw sausage, steaks, etc. If cooking these types of foods, consult local HVAC codes and authorities to ensure compliance with ventilation requirements. Ultimate ventless allowance is dependent upon AHJ approval, as some jurisdictions may not recognize the UL certification or application.
