1. Clean hood filters regularly as the maker recommends. Dirty filters make the hood work less well.
2. Turn on the hood before cooking to start ventilation right away.
3. If you wire the hood, be sure connections are secure and meet local codes. If unsure, get an electrician.
4. If you're unsure about installing, hire a pro for safe and correct installation.
5. Install the hood at the recommended height (around 24 to 30 inches) to avoid melting LED lights and ensure efficiency.
6. Periodically look for anything blocking the ducts to keep airflow smooth.
