IMPoRTANT oPeRATING TIPS

Always use the blower when using the cooktop or 

range.
turn the blower on a few minutes before starting to 

cook to establish an airflow pattern in the room.
Adjust the fan speed according to the volume and 

weight of the food you are cooking.
Shut nearby windows and doors, turn off ceiling fans 

and close nearby heating and air conditioning outlets 

to reduce air currents around the hood.
Place your largest pots and pans on the back burners 

when possible.
In the interest of safety, heat oils and fats slowly.

eNeRGY SAVING TIPS

Do not operate the blower at a speed higher than 

necessary to remove heat and smoke. Running at too 

high a speed will draw in air from outside the house, 

increasing heating and cooling costs.
Keep the filters and hood surfaces free of grease and 

grime to improve efficiency.
turn the blower off as soon as all smoke and odors 

have been cleared.
Select cookware of the proper size, material and 

construction for the cooking task. Always use lids on 

cookware to retain heat and moisture.
Minimize the amount of liquid used to cook food.
