CARE AND CLEANING

Filters

Be sure the circuit breaker is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the vent hood.

Metal Grease Filter

The metal filter traps grease released by foods from cooking.
The filters must ALWAYS be in place when the hood is in use. The grease filters are dishwasher-safe and should be cleaned every 6 months, or as needed.

To remove:
Pull downward on the filter lock to release the filter.

To replace:
Fit the tabs at the bottom of the filter behind the ledge of the filter opening. Lift up the front side of the filter, push downward on the filter lock, and push gently until the filter is in place. Release the filter lock to secure the filter in place.

To clean, swish the filter in hot soapy water and rinse in clean water or wash it in the dishwasher. Do not use abrasive cleansers.

NOTE: Some discoloration may occur in the dishwasher.

Charcoal Filter

For Recirculation Installation Only (Not Included)
If the model is not vented to the outside, the air needs to be recirculated through a disposable charcoal filter that helps remove smoke and odors.
NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filter in an automatic dishwasher.

The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced. It is recommended that the charcoal filter be replaced every 6-12 months or if it is noticeably dirty or discolored.

Surfaces

Stainless Steel Surfaces

(on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the brush line. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface. Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser will remove surface rust, tarnish, and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp soft sponge.

Painted Surfaces

(on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pads or other abrasive cleaners; they will scratch the surface.

Clean grease-laden surfaces of the hood frequently. To clean the hood surface, use a hot, damp cloth with a mild detergent suitable for painted surfaces. About one tablespoon of ammonia may be added to the water. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove soap. Dry with a dry, clean cloth.

NOTE: When cleaning, take care not to come in contact with filters and other surfaces.

When cleaning the hood surfaces, be certain that you do not touch the light with moist hands or cloth. A warm or hot light may break if touched with a moist surface. Always let the light cool completely before cleaning around it.

Lights

Allow lights to cool before touching.

To change the lights:

1. Before attempting to replace the lights, make sure that the light switch is turned off.
2. Wear gloves. Do not touch the light with your bare fingers. Skin oils can cause early light failure. Wear clean gloves or use a paper towel to handle the light.
3. Using a flathead screwdriver, unclip the metal trim ring from the lighting support.
   
4. Remove the light by pulling towards the front of the hood. Replace it with a new G4 20W Clear Halogen Capsule light by inserting the two stakes into the holes and pushing towards the back of the hood to secure the light.
   
5. Reinsert the metal trim ring by lining up the two side holes on the lighting support with the two tabs on the trim ring, and push upward.

* Based on "Kitchen Fire Safety" published by NFPA.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

1. Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on medium settings.
2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

1. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
2. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer's guidelines and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.
3. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
4. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
5. When applicable, install any makeup (replacement) air system in accordance with local building code requirements. Visit cafeappliances.com for available makeup air solutions.
