Settings and Functions
Hood Operation
Always turn on your hood before you begin cooking to
establish airflow in the kitchen. Also let the blower run for a few
minutes to clear the air after you turn off your cooking
appliance. This will help keep the kitchen air cleaner.

Using Outdoor Hoods
•
Outdoor hood models should be installed in a covered yet
non-enclosed area.
They should also be protected from
natural elements (such as rain) as much as possible.
• Always turn the outdoor hood on to the “HIGH” position
before lighting the grill.
• Keep the grill canopy closed as much as possible when
cooking so smoke is exhausted from the back of the grill. This
allows for optimum performance of the hood.
• During breezy conditions, outdoor hoods may not perform
well.
