Use & Care
Operation controls
1. Always activate the ventilator whenever using cooking appliances.
2. Activate the ventilator a few minutes before starting to cook to estab-
lish an airflow pattern within the room.
3. Adjust the fan speed according to the amount of cooking exhaust.
4. Adjust the dimmable halogen lights as desired.
5. Eliminate air currents in the hood vicinity by shutting nearby windows
and doors, turning off ceiling fans and closing the adjacent heating and
air conditioning outlets.
6. Place your largest pans, skillets and stock pots on the rear burners
whenever possible.
DO NOT operate the vent system without the filters in place,
or with dirty, grease laden filters.
Energy saving tips
1. Do not operate the blower at a speed that is higher than necessary to
remove the cooking exhaust. Running at excessive speeds removes
more air from the inside of the house that must be replaced by out-
side air. This may be especially costly when your home's heating or air
conditioning system is in operation. Turn off the unit once the smoke
and cooking odors have been eliminated.
2. Clean filters and grease laden surfaces often to improve efficiency.
3. Always use lids on cookware to retain heat and moisture.
4. Minimize the amount of liquid used to cook food.
5. Select cookware of proper size, material and construction for the
cooking task being performed.
Care & Cleaning
1. Proper cleaning is necessary to maintain performance and appear-
ance, while also ensuring safe operation. The frequency of cleaning
should be adjusted according to the type and amount of cooking. Best
results will be achieved by cleaning soiled components as soon as pos-
sible.
