cian. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. Refer to Installation Instruc-

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, mois-
ture, 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.
