Energy Saving Tips

•  Do not operate the fan 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 filter system and hood surfaces free of 

grease and grime to improve efficiency.

•  Turn the fan 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.

Never operate the range hood without the filter(s) in 

place. Also, do not operate the hood with grimy or 

grease-laden filters. Personal injury, fire or damage to 

the range hood could result.

Important Operating Tips

•  Always use the blower when using the cooktop or 

range.

•  Turn the blower on a few minutes before start-

ing 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 condition-

ing 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.

Operation

NOTE: After 30 hours of blower operation, the 

control panel will flash. This signal means it is time

lights will stop flashing.

The main power switch is located behind the filter,
