MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Surface Maintenance:
Clean periodically with hot soapy water and clean cotton cloth. Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergent (e.g. comet
powder scrub, EZ-Off oven cleaner), or steel wool/scoring pads which will scratch and damage surface.
For heavier soil use liquid degreaser such as ‘Formula 409’ or ‘Fantastic’ brand cleaner.
After cleaning, you may use non abrasive stainless steel polish/cleaners such as 3M or ZEP, to polish and buff out the
stainless luster and grain. Always scrub lightly, with clean cotton cloth, and with the grain
Stainless Steel Baffle Filters:
The Filters fitted by the factory are intended to filter out residue and grease from cooking. It need not be replaced on a
regular basis but are required to be kept clean.
Filters should be cleaned after every 30 hours of use.
Remove and clean by hand in a basin of hot soapy water. The filter is also dishwasher safe.
If heavily soiled, spray ‘Formula 409’ or equivalent degreasing detergent and leave to soak.
Dry filters and re-install before using hood.
Hood Cleaning
The saturation of greasy residue in the blower and filters may cause increased inflammability. Keep unit
clean and free of grease and residue build-up at all times to prevent possible fires.
Filters must be cleaned periodically and free from accumulation of cooking residue (see cleaning
instructions inside). Old and worn filters must be replaced immediately. Do not operate blowers when
filters are removed. Never disassemble parts to clean without proper instructions. Disassembly is
recommended to be performed by qualified personnel only. Call our service center for removal
instructions.
Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Occasional care will help preserve its fine
appearance.
Cleaning tips:
* Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.
* Rinse with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to avoid water marks.
* For discolorations or deposits that persist, use a non-scratching household cleanser or stainless steel
polishing powder with a little amount of water and a soft cloth.
* For stubborn stain, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together with cleanser and water.
Rub lightly in direction of polishing lines or “grain” of the stainless finish. Avoid using too much
pressure that may mar the surface.
* Do not allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.
* Do not use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface causing
rust.
* 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 that may be
harmful. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
* Painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent only.
