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 airow 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 lters and hood surfaces free of grease
and grime to improve efciency.
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.
