MAINTENANCE
SAFETY WARNING: NEVER PUT YOUR HAND INTO AREA HOUSING THE FAN
For optimal operation, clean range hood, surfaces and filters regularly. Regular care will help preserve the
appearance of the range hood.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR SURFACES
Clean periodically with hot soapy water and clean cotton cloth. Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergent
or steel wool pads, which will scratch and damage the stainless steel surface. For heavier soil, use a liquid
degreasing cleaner. Use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the surface of the hood. Avoid getting cleaning
solution onto or into the control panel. Follow directions of the stainless steel cleaner.
CAUTION
USE SOFT TOWEL TO WIPE OFF THE CLEANING SOLUTION, GENTLY RUB OFF ANY STUBBORN SPOTS. USE DRY SOFT
TOWEL TO DRY THE HOOD. ALWAYS SCRUB LIGHTLY WITH CLEAN COTTON CLOTH AND IN THE DIRECTION OF THE
GRAIN.
DO NOT ALLOW DEPOSITS TO ACCUMULATE OR REMAIN ON THE HOOD. DO NOT USE ORDINARY STEEL WOOL OR
STEEL BRUSHES. SMALL BITS OF STEEL MAY ADHERE TO THE SURFACE AND CAUSE RUSTING.
DO NOT ALLOW SALT SOLUTIONS, DISINFECTANTS, BLEACHES OR CLEANING COMPOUNDS TO REMAIN IN CONTACT
WITH STAINLESS STEEL FOR EXTENDED PERIODS. MANY OF THESE COMPOUNDS CONTAIN CHEMICALS, WHICH MAY
BE HARMFUL. RINSE WITH WATER AND WIPE DRY WITH A CLEAN CLOTH.
CLEANING THE GREASE FILTER
The filters are intended to filter out residue and grease from cooking and are required to be kept clean.
Filters should be cleaned after every 30 hours of use (or once a month, depending on use). Remove and
clean by hand in soapy water. Dry filters and re-install. If cleaning the filters in the dishwasher (NOT
RECOMMENDED), use a non-phosphate detergent. The use of detergent with phosphate may cause
discoloration of the filters, but will not affect their performance. This discoloration is not covered by the
warranty.
REPLACING THE FILTERS
If filters wear out due to prolonged use, please contact your service/parts provider for replacement filters.
NOTE:
ALSO REPLACE DAMAGED FILTER THAT HAS PUNCTURED OR BROKEN MESH, BENT OR BROKEN FRAME.
CLEANING THE STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE
Regularly wash surface with dry cloth or clean cloth soaked in warm water and mild soap or liquid dish
detergent. Always clean following the grain. Always rinse thoroughly with clear water (2-3 times) and wipe
dry completely. Specially designed stainless steel cleaners can also be used.
GREASE CUP
Take good care of installing the grease tunnel properly and to empty and clean it on a regular basis.
