Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning Mesh Filters
Blower speed knob
As air passes through the filter, grease
particles collect on the stainless steel
screen inside the filter. The filters should
FAN
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
LOW HIGH
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.

Cleaning Hood Canopy
Finishes in enamel or stainless steel are
highly resistant to damage or discoloration
due to grease, steam, and heat—provided
that reasonable care is given to the
equipment. The following suggestions will
help keep your hood looking new.
1. DO NOT allow an excessive
accumulation of grease. For best results,
you should wipe your hood clean with a
cloth dipped in warm, soapy water.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANSERS,
STEEL WOOL PADS, OR ABRASIVE
CLOTHS. DO NOT use cleansers that
contain chlorides; the chlorides in the
cleaner could damage the stainless steel
finish. If you need to scrape stainless
steel to remove encrusted materials, first
1
soak the area with hot towels to loosen
1
the material, then use a wooden or
nylon spatula or scraper. DO NOT use a
metal knife, spatula, or any other metal
2
tool to scrape stainless steel.
2. Every 3 months give your hood a
thorough cleaning. On painted surfaces,
use a new coat of wax. A good wax
cleaner—available at either a grocery or
hardware store—will do both jobs at
once. On stainless steel surfaces, use a
good stainless steel cleaner and polish.

Renewing Stainless Steel Finish
