Maintenance - Mistral LBS430PR Installation Manual And User's Manual

4. MAINTENANCE
For optimal operation, clean the range hood, surfaces and filter regularly. Regular care will help preserve
the appearance of the range hood.
SAFETY WARNING: NEVER PUT YOUR HAND INTO AREA THAT HOUSES THE FAN
CLEANING EXTERIOR SURFACES
Clean periodically with hot, soapy water and clean cotton cloth. Do not use corrosive or abrasive
detergent or steel wool/scouring pads, which will scratch and damage the stainless steel surface. For
heavier soil, use liquid degreasing cleaner. Use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the surface of the hood.
Avoid getting cleaning solution onto or into the control panel. Follow directions for the stainless steel
cleaner.
CAUTION
Use soft towel to wipe off the cleaning solution, gently rubbing off any stubborn spots. Use dry soft
towel to dry the hood. Always scrub lightly, with a clean cotton cloth and in the direction of the grain.
Do not allow deposits to accumulate or remain on the hood. Do not use ordinary steel wool or steel
brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface and cause rusting.
Do not allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to remain in contact with
stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these compounds contain chemicals which may be harmful.
Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
CLEANING GREASE FILTER
The filters will eliminate vapors and fumes from cooking and should be kept clean. Filters should be
cleaned after 30 hours of use (or once every month, according to usage). Remove and clean by hand in
soapy water. Dry the filters and re‐install. DO NOT wash in dishwasher as this will damage the finish.
REPLACING FILTERS
Should filters wear out due to age and prolonged use, please contact your service/parts provider for
replacement filters.
CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE
Regularly wash surface with cloth or clean cloth soaked in warm water and mild soap or liquid dish
detergent. Always clean following the grain of the material and rinse thoroughly with clear water (2‐3
times) before wiping completely. Specially designed stainless steel cleaners can also be used.
NOTE: ALSO REPLACE DAMAGED OR BENT FILTERS.
