Operating Your Range Hood
warning
never operate the range hood without the filters in
place. also, do not operate the hood with grimy or
grease-laden filters. personal injury, fire 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 out-
lets to reduce air currents around the hood.
•
place your largest pots and pans on the back burn-
ers when possible.
•
in the interest of safety, heat oils and fats slowly.

Energy Saving Tips
•
Do not operate the blower 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 filters 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.
