B.Always turn hood “ON”when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).

C.Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

D.Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface unit.
