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 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 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.
