They should also be protected from natural elements (such as rain) as much as possible. • Always turn the outdoor hood on to the "HIGH" position before lighting the grill. • Keep the grill canopy closed as much as possible when cooking so smoke is exhausted from the back of the grill. This allows for optimum performance of the hood. • During breezy conditions, outdoor hoods may not perform well.
