Continuous use of the fan system while cooking helps keep the kitchen
comfortable and less humid.
It also reduces cooking odors and soiling moisture that create a frequent
need for cleaning.
Turn the blower on before starting to cook.
Use a rear burner when browning or pan frying meat.
Open a window or inside door slightly.
Clean the filters and the wall behind the filters frequently.
The blower should be turned on for a few minutes before cooking in order
to establish air currents upward through the hood. Thus when heat,
smoke, moisture, grease and cooking odors are produced, they will be
carried outside instead of drifting into other rooms.
Use the low speeds for normal use and the higher speeds for strong odors
or fumes.
Drafts across the range or cooktop will cause the escape of heat, smoke,
moisture, grease and cooking odors from the hood. Such drafts should be
prevented in so far as possible.
The best job of ventilation in the kitchen is done where the only air
currents are those created by the blower itself.
For Gas Cooktops, a lower blower speed should be used if:
• the gas flame is being distorted by the air movement.
• the burner continually sparks (clicks)
• the burner flame repeatedly blows out.
Do not connect the hood to chimneys, ventilation pipes or hot air pipes.
Before connecting any pipes, consulting municipal ordinances on exhaust
air and request permission from the person in charge of the building. Be
sure there is adequate ventilation, even in cases where the hood is to be
used simultaneously with another product.
