Cleaning Mesh Filters
As air passes through the filter, grease particles collect on the stainless
steel screen inside the filter. The filters should be examined periodically
to assure that all surfaces and parts are clean. This unit is equipped with
an alarm. Once the unit has been in operation for 48 hours, the letters “FILT”
will appear on the display. The filters can then be washed in a dishwasher or
in a sink with hot, soapy water. Simple periodic cleaning will ensure maximum
effectiveness. Do not use caustic detergent to clean the filters. An abrasive or
corrosive cleaner may damage the finish. Do not take the filters apart to clean
them. It is not necessary and will void the filter warranty. Once the filters have
been cleaned and placed back in the hood, the display is canceled by
holding the scroll up (+) and the scroll down (-) buttons for 5 seconds.
Maintaining Charcoal Filter (Recirculating Hoods Only)
Replace the charcoal filters every 6 months to 1 year depending on the
amount and type of cooking you do.
To replace, remove the baffle/charcoal filter
assembly and slide the charcoal filter out of the
channel and replace with a new one. Do not put
the charcoal filters in the dishwasher.
Replacement filters are available through your local
Viking Range dealer, or you can call the Viking
Online Store at 1-877-834-8222 or visit
vikingrange.com
