Operating the hood
For better results
• The blower should be turned on for about 5 minutes
before cooking in order to establish air currents
upward through the hood. Thus when heat, smoke,
moisture, grease and cooking odors are produced,
they will be carried outside instead of drifting into
other rooms.
• Use the lower speeds for normal use and the higher
speeds for strong odors or fumes.
• Drafts across the range or cooktop will reduce the
effectiveness of the hood. Such drafts should be
prevented when possible.
• The best job of ventilation in the kitchen is done
where the only air currents are those created by the
blower itself.
• Regular use of the fan system while cooking helps
keep the kitchen comfortable and less humid.
• Use a rear burner when browning or pan frying meat.
• For optimal performance, the width of the hood
should equal that of the cooktop or rangetop or
exceed it by 3 inches on either side. Install these
hoods only with Thermador blowers.
