HOOD OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The Nower shouHd be turned on for a few minutes before cooking in order to establish air currents up-
ward 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.

Drafts across the range or cooktop will cause the escape of heat, smoke, moisture, grease and cooking

odors from the hood. Such drafts should be prevented in so far as possible.

The best job of ventilation in the kitchen is done where the only air currents are those created by the

blower itself.

USEAND CARE

BLOWER

The motor is operated by a four-speed control switch. You may change the speed of the motor

depending on the amount of grease and smoke you are creating while cooking.
