mulate on blower or filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the
surface element.

OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or other metal
tray, then turn off the gas burner or the electric element. BE CAREFUL
TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACU-
ATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN, you may be burned.

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.
Use The hood uses rocker switches to activate the controls. The switch is on when the
lower part of the button is depressed. The switch is off when the upper part of the
button is depressed.
Light Press the lower section of the button to turn lights on. Press the upper part of the
button to turn the lights off.
Fan Press the buttons up or down for the corresponding speed:
