Baffle grease
filters and
drip trays
(on some models)
Some models have reusable metal grease baffles
and drip trays.
The metal baffles channel grease released by
foods on the cooktop into the drip trays. The
baffles also help prevent flaming foods on the
cooktop from damaging the inside of the hood.
For this reason, the baffles must
ALWAYS
be in
place when the hood is used. The grease baffles
and drip trays should be cleaned once a month,
or as needed.
To clean the grease baffles and drip trays
, drain
and wipe all excess grease with a dry paper
towel. Soak them and then swish them around
in hot water and detergent. Don’t use ammonia
or ammonia products because they will darken
the metal. Do not use abrasives or oven
cleaners. Rinse, shake and let them dry before
replacing.
They may also be cleaned in an
automatic dishwasher.
To remove:
Grasp the baffle knobs and pull them up,
forward and out. Grasp the drip tray and
carefully lift it up and out of the hood track.
To replace the drip trays:
1.
Place and seat the drip tray into the hood
track.
2.
Slide them left or right until all trays are
side-by-side in place in the track.
To replace the baffles:
1.
Hold the baffle at the bottom by one of
the knobs .
2.
Place the other end of the baffle against
the inside front of the hood.
3.
Slide it up and push the bottom end back
until it firmly seats into place.
