charcoal filters over grille on blower housing. See the 
“Range Hood Care” section.
2. Install metal filters. See the “Range Hood Care” section.
3. Check the operation of the range hood blower and light. 
See the “Range Hood Use” section.
NOTE: To get the most efficient use from your new range hood, 
read the “Range Hood Use” section.
RANGE HOOD USE
The range hood is designed to remove smoke, cooking vapors and 
odors from the cooktop area. For best results, start the hood 
before cooking and allow it to operate several minutes after the 
cooking is complete to clear all smoke and odors from the kitchen.
The range hood controls are located on the front side of the 
canopy.
