grease,odor through triple filtering system.
For best results, when using a non-vent hood, tilt open the front
panel to start the fan, and allow it to opelgte a few minutes before
and after cooking. This allows the air to be recirculated through the
three filters for a su-fficientlength of time to absorb eooking smoke,
odors and greasefrom the air.
Continue to operate the fan until air is sufficiently clean, and be
sure ftlters are not allowed to become clogged.
