RANGE HOOD

WARNING:
Failure to maintain basic standards of care and cleaning of the range hood will increase the risk of fire.

polish lines of stainless steel) .
- Clean the range hood periodically with hot, soapy
water and a clean cotton cloth .
- Always rinse well with clean water two or three
times after cleaning . Wipe completely dry with a
soft non-abrasive cloth.
- After cleaning, you may polish the surface with
a non-abrasive stainless steel polish or cleaner.
Always rub lightly and with the grain
- Ensure that the venting system is free of debris, if
you have one .

FILTER

The aluminum filter fitted by the factory is intended to filter out residue and grease from cooking. You do not need to replace it on a regular
basis, but you should keep it clean .
Do:
- Clean the filter once a month using non-abrasive
detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher .
When using a dishwasher, set the dishwasher to
a low temperature and a short cycle setting . The
filter may become discoloured in a dishwasher, but
this does not affect its performance .
- Allow filters to completely dry before re-installing
them in the range hood .
Do Not:
- Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents, steel
wool, or scouring pads . These will scratch and
damage the stainless steel surface .
- Do not use any products containing chloride,
fluoride, iodide, or bromide on this product, as they
will deteriorate the surface rapidly .
- Do not allow cleaning compounds, salt solutions,
disinfectants, or bleaches to remain in contact with
the product for extended periods of time .
- Do not allow any deposits to remain for long
periods of time on the range hood . Rinse with
water immediately and wipe dry with a clean cloth .
- Do not let plaster dust or any other construction
residue enter the hood . During construction or
renovation, cover the hood .
- Combustible products used for cleaning such as
acetone, alcohol, ether, or benzol are highly explosive
and should never be used close to a range or stove .
Do Not:
- Do not allow oil to accumulate over more than 80%
of the filter surface. Oil accumulations may drip oil
onto the range .
- Do not wash charcoal filter. The charcoal filter
should be replaced when it is covered in grease
and has reached its maximum absorbancy .
