Care and Cleaning of the
Ventilation System
•
Air Grille:
The air grille lifts off easily. Wipe clean or wash in
dishwasher or sink with mild household detergents. To
prevent scratching the surface,
do not
use abrasive
cleaners or scrubbing pads.
•
Filter:
Turn off ventilation system
before
removing. The filter
is a permanent type and should be cleaned when soiled.
Clean in sink with warm water and detergent or in
dishwasher.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT
OPERATE SYSTEM WITHOUT
FILTER.
Filter should always be placed at an angle. As you
face the front of the range, the top of the filter should rest
against the left side of the vent opening. The bottom should
rest against the right side of the vent chamber at the
bottom.
Important: If filter is flat against the fan wall,
ventilation effectiveness is reduced.
•
Ventilation Chamber:
This area, which houses the filter,
should be cleaned in the event of spills or whenever it
becomes coated with a film of grease. It can be cleaned with
paper towel, damp cloth, or sponge and mild household
detergent or cleanser.
Important:
The oven vent is located under the right side of
the air grille. When using or cleaning the oven, hot and
moist air may be noticed in this area. The area near the vent
may become hot enough to cause burns. Be careful not to
spill anything into this vent.
The air grille must be
removed before the self-clean cycle.
