About a hooci...
iif.your kitchen is currently equipped with a range hood,
you are ; familiar with the benefits provided by. this
appliance. If your kitchen does not include a range hood,
RANGE HOOD (Model 553 Series)
StainlessSteel/ Range Hood provides the necessary
ventilation for use with this model. Automatic Heat Sensor
turns hood to Hi from a LO or OFF position in case of high
heat during cooking
Why buy a range hood?
A range hood is a kitchen appliance that cleans the air in
order to provide a cleaner and more pleasant indoor
environment for the whole family Cooking odors especially those generated by fish, cabbage, onions, etc saturate the entire living quarters of a home This is
particularly true today, since due to the high cost of
energy, homes are tighter and better insulated
As you know, heat rises and with it also the grease, odors,
smoke, and moisture generated by your cooking A vented
hood would remove these pollutants and prevent them
from spreading and settling in your walls, ceilings, drapes,
cabinets and furniture,.
Your Sears Store - Retail or Catalog - carries a complete
line of vented and ventless range hoods in wide choice of
styles, colors and finishes including stainless steel to
match your decorating needs

units, cleans itself It must not be immersed in
water

recommended
5.. Most utensils which are safe for use on an out-door
grill may be used with your Grill Module

Flare-ups are caused by the juices hitting the heating
element Flare-ups and resulting smoke give foods their
delicious flavor and appearance Should excess flaring
occur remove food from grill and turn Control Knob to
OFF Never spray water on a flare-up
