Operation
Before Using the Appliance for the First Time
A Note about Drafts: 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

Tips (For Best Results)
The blower should be turned on for about five 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.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning
WARNING - Be sure the entire appliance (including the grease filters and light bulbs, if applicable) has cooled and grease has solidified before attempting to clean any part of the appliance.
