Cleaning the Hood

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at
the service panel and lock the service panel to prevent
power from being switched on accidentally.
CHARCOAL FILTERS
If the model is not vented to the outside, the air will be
recirculated through disposable charcoal filters that help
remove smoke and odors.
The charcoal filters should be replaced when they are
noticeably dirty or discolored (usually after 6 to 12
months, depending on hood usage).
The charcoal filters are NOT included with the unit.
To reduce the risk of fire and shock, when used in
recirculation mode, use only charcoal filter UXCF91.
NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filters in an
automatic dishwasher.
The charcoal filters cannot be cleaned. They must be
replaced.
METAL GREASE FILTER
Clean the grease filter after 30 hours of "on" time. A
signal light will alert you when 30 hours has passed.
Remove the grease filters and wash them either by hand
or in the dishwasher using non-abrasive soap.
To clean, swish the filters in hot, soapy water or wash
them in the dishwasher. Do not use abrasive cleansers.

HOOD SURFACES

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 grain.

appointment. See Consumer Support page in the
