Continuous use of the fan system while cooking helps keep the kitchen comfortable and less humid. It also reduces cooking odors and soiling moisture that create a frequent need for cleaning. ALWAYS USE THE MAX SETTING WHEN GRILLING. LIGHT CONTROL Turn to HI while cooking or to LO for use as a night light.
