Cleaning

 WARNING

To avoid the risk of fire, electric shock or personal 

injury:

•  Turn off power to the hood at the circuit breaker 

panel or fuse box before cleaning.

•  Clean the hood only in the manner specified.
•  Use only the types of cleaning solutions specified 

in this manual.

•  Thoroughly dry the filter(s) immediately after 

cleaning.

•  Turn off the cooktop or range and make sure that 

the appliance and range hood are cool before 

cleaning.

 CAUTION

•  Always wipe stainless steel (silver colored) 

surfaces with the grain. To prevent scratching, do 

not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers on stainless 

steel or glass surfaces.

•  To avoid damage to the blower system, do not 

reinstall damaged filters (see page 6 for 

replacement part numbers).

Proper cleaning is necessary to ensure safe 

operation and maintain hood performance and 

appearance. The frequency of cleaning should 

be adjusted according to the type and amount of 

cooking. Best results will be achieved by cleaning 

soiled components as soon as possible.

Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces

Clean stainless steel surfaces with a mild solution 

of detergent or dishwashing soap and warm water. 

Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Cleaning the Light Lens

Use a mild glass cleaner to remove smudges on 

the light fixture lens. 

Cleaning the Filter(s)

Clean the filter a minimum of every two 

months. To help remind you to clean the 

filter(s), the control panel will flash after 

30 hours of blower operation. Touch the 

timer reset key to reset.

Care and Cleaning

Removing the Filter

The filter 

 A 

 is located on the bottom of the hood, 

directly above the cooking surface.
1.  Hold the filter in place with one hand and pull 

back on the release lever 

 B 

 with the other. 

2.  While pulling back on the release lever, lower the 

filter out of the hood. On hoods with more than 

one filter, remove, clean and replace all of the 

filters.

Cleaning the Filter

Hand wash the filter in hot water with a mild 

detergent solution or dishwashing soap. You can 

also place it in an automatic dishwasher. Dry the 

filter completely before reinstalling.

Reinstalling the Filter:

1.  Insert tabs on the end of the filter opposite the 

release lever into the slots toward the back of 

the hood (above the hood rim). The release lever 

must be facing down.

2.  Pull back on the release lever while sliding the 

free end of the filter into the filter opening.
