Operation - Using the Controls
A Note about Drafts:
Before You Begin Cooking
Drafts across the range or cooktop will reduce the
effectiveness of the hood. Such drafts should be prevented
when possible. The best job of ventilation in the kitchen is
done when the only air currents are those created by the
blower itself.
The blower should be turned on for about 5 minutes before
cooking in order to establish air currents upward through
the hood. Thus when heat, smoke, moisture, grease and
cooking odors are produced, they will be carried outside
instead of drifting into other rooms. Use the low speeds for
normal use and the higher speeds for strong odors or fumes.
