15. USE AND CARE
Baffle Filters
The baffle filters should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm detergent solution. Wash more often if your cooking style generates greater
grease — like frying foods or wok cooking.
Remove the filters from the range hood by pushing them towards the nose of the hood and rotate downwards. Baffle filters are dishwasher
safe. Allow filters to dry completely before reinstalling them in the hood.
Clean all-metal filters in the dishwasher using a non-phosphate detergent. Discoloration of the filters may occur if using phosphate
detergent or as a result of local water conditions — but this will not affect filter performance. This discoloration is not covered by the
warranty.
Grease Drip Rail
The grease drip rail should be cleaned frequently. To remove, rotate the grease rail to
disengage it from the bottom panel, then slide it away in a diagonal movement. Wash in a
a warm detergent solution. As with the baffle filters, wash more often if your cooking style
generates greater grease — like frying foods or wok cooking. Allow the grease drip rail to
dry completely before reinstalling it in the hood.
General cleaning instructions
Stainless steel cleaning:
Avoid when choosing a detergent:
- Any cleaners that contain
bleach
will attack stainless steel.
- Any products containing:
chloride, fluoride, iodide, bromide
will deteriorate surfaces rapidly.
- Any combustible products used for cleaning such as
acetone, alcohol, ether, benzol
, etc., are highly explosive and should never be
used close to a range.
Do:
• Regularly wash with clean cloth or rag soaked with warm water
and mild soap or liquid dish detergent.
• Always clean in the direction of original polish lines.
• Always rinse well with clear water (2 or 3 times) after cleaning.
Wipe dry completely.
• You may also use a specialized household stainless steel
cleaner.
Don’t:
• Use any steel or stainless steel wool or any other scrapers to
remove stubborn dirt.
• Use any harsh or abrasive cleansers.
• Allow dirt to accumulate.
• Let plaster dust or any other construction residues reach the
range hood. During construction/renovation, cover the range
hood to make sure no dust sticks to stainless steel surface.
