Hood Operation

Always turn on your hood before you begin cooking to establish airflow in the kitchen. Also let the blower run for a few
minutes to clear the air after you turn off your cooking appliance. This will help keep the kitchen air cleaner.

Using Outdoor Hoods
• Outdoor hood models should be installed in a covered yet non-enclosed area. They should also be protected from natural
elements (such as rain) as much as possible.
• Always turn the outdoor hood on to the "HIGH" position before lighting the grill.
• Keep the grill canopy closed as much as possible when cooking so smoke is exhausted from the back of the grill. This allows
for optimum performance of the hood.
• During breezy conditions, outdoor hoods may not perform well.
