Care and 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.
• To avoid damage to the fan, do not reinstall damaged
filters (see page 6 for replacement part numbers).
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.
Proper cleaning is necessary to ensure safe opera-
tion and maintain hood performance and appear-
ance. The frequency of cleaning should be adjusted
according to the type and amount of cooking. Best
results will be achieved by cleaning soiled compo-
nents 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.
You may also use Dacor Stainless Steel Cleaner. Use
it according to the directions on the package.
Cleaning the Light Lens
Use a mild glass cleaner to remove smudges on the
light fixture lens. You can also clean it with Dacor
Cook Top Cleaning Creme. Use it according to the
directions on the package.
Cleaning the Filter(s)
Clean the filter a minimum of every two months. To
help remind you to clean the filter(s), the
