Operating Instructions
WARNING
Never operate the range hood without the filter(s) in
place. Also, do not operate the hood with grimy or
grease-laden filters. Personal injury or damage to the
range hood could result.
IMPORTANT OPERATING TIPS
Always use the blower when using the cooktop or
•
range.
Turn the blower on a few minutes before starting to
•
cook to establish an airflow pattern in the room.
Adjust the fan speed according to the volume and
•
weight of the food you are cooking.
Shut nearby windows and doors, turn off ceiling fans
•
and close nearby heating and air conditioning outlets to
reduce air currents around the hood.
Place your largest pots and pans on the back burners
•
when possible.
In the interest of safety, heat oils and fats slowly.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Do not operate the blower
•
system at a speed higher
than necessary to remove heat and smoke. Running
at too high a speed will draw in air from outside the
house, increasing heating and cooling costs.
Keep the
•
filter system and hood surfaces free of grease
and grime to improve efficiency.
Turn the blower
•
off as soon as all smoke and odors
have been cleared.
Select cookware of the proper size, material and
•
construction for the cooking task. Always use lids on
cookware to retain heat and moisture.
Minimize the amount of liquid used to cook food.
