	3) The fire department is being called.
	4) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
	Smother grease fire with pan lid or baking soda.
	WARNING - In case of cooktop fire, do not operate blower.

Getting Started

Before You Begin

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.

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.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Care and Cleaning

Cleaning

WARNING: Be sure the entire hood (including the filters and light bulbs) has cooled and grease has solidified before attempting to clean any part of the appliance.

DO NOT use the following!

•Abrasive Pads such as those made from steel wool SOS , Brillo or plastic mesh.

•Abrasive cleaners such as Comet , Ajax and Zud .

•Flammable products such as gasoline or kerosene.

Hood Surface	Stainless Steel Surfaces: Wipe and dry stainless steel in the same direction as
	the grain. Avoid using too much pressure, which may mar the surface. To remove
	fingerprints and give added shine, use cleaners such as Stainless Steel Magic .
	Do not allow any cleaning compounds to remain in contact with stainless steel for
	extended periods.
Filters	CAUTION: To avoid fire hazard, keep filters clean. Grease left on fil-
	ters can remelt and migrate along the vent path.
	Aluminum Filter
	The hood has a removable aluminum filter that must be cleaned when it collects
	grease. Filters can be cleaned with soap and water or in the dishwasher. When
	used over a wok or other high grease application, more frequent cleaning may be
	required.

Carbon Filter

A carbon filter is used only with a recirculation unit. It is in addition to the aluminum filter explained previously. Carbon filters are disposable; They cannot be cleaned or reused. With normal use (1 to 2 hours per day), the carbon filter should be replaced once per year. Contact your dealer to order replacement carbon filters.
