READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS- Hoods
This Thermador ventilating hood is operated by a solid state motor
speed control which allows infinite control of motor speeds for
selection of air exhaust and sound level.
The ventilator should be turned on 5 minutes before cooking in
order to draw the currents of air upward through the hood. That way
when heat, smoke, moisture, grease and cooking odors arise, they
will be carried upward and forced outside, thereby minimizing their
drift into other rooms.
Drafts across the cooking surface from an open window, door etc.,
may cause the escape of heat, moisture, grease and cooking odors
from the hood. Such drafts should be prevented whenever possible.
The best job of ventilation in the kitchen is done when the only air
currents are those created by the ventilator itself.
