Important Operating Tips
always use the fan when using the cooktop or range.
•
turn the fan 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
•
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.
