Regular cleaning and maintenance is the key to long life and peak performance of

any equipment. 

ANTI-GREASE BAFFLE FILTERS:

  Your XO hood is equipped with stainless steel

pro-style baffle filters designed to capture grease from cooking.  The baffles are easily 

removed for cleaning either by soaking in a warm, mild dish detergent solution, rinsing 

thoroughly and drying  - or -  by washing in your dishwasher.

TO REMOVE THE BAFFLES:

1. Pull down on the release latch (shown left)

2. Lower the front edge of the baffle 

3. Pull forward and remove

4. To replace, insert the rear of the baffle, holding the  

latch open, swing the the front up into place and 

release the latch. 

The importance of this simple process is essential for 

two reasons.  First to help keep your kitchen clean and 

healthy, but it is also critical to minimize the risk of fire.

Baffle filters should be cleaned at least once every 2 months, more frequently depending 

on the type of cooking performed and the build up of grease.

CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL:

Do not use corrosive detergents, abrasive detergents or oven cleaners. 

Do not use any product containing chlorine bleach or any product containing chloride. 

Do not use steel wool or abrasive scrubbing pads which will scratch and damage surface. 

Cleaning Stainless Steel Clean periodically with warm soapy water and clean cotton cloth 

or micro fiber cloth. Always rub in the direction of the stainless steel grain.   To remove 

heavier grease build up use a liquid degreaser detergent. After cleaning use a non-abrasive 

stainless steel polish/cleaners, to polish and buff out the stainless luster and grain. Always 

rub lightly, with a clean cotton cloth or a micro fiber cloth and buff in the direction of the  

stainless steel grain. 

Any painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and detergent only.
