Cleaning And Maintenance; Mesh Filters; Charcoal Filters - Viking 3 Series Use & Care Manual

Cleaning and Maintenance

Unplug power cords from control panel before cleaning
or servicing hood.
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Ventilation
equipment is no exception. Your hood must be kept clean and maintained properly.
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. 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.
For general ventilating use only. DO NOT use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
