XX Filters, first row of filters
Step Release the hooks that hold the filters together. Slide the top hook upward and the bottom hook downward until the
hook releases. Do this to all filters.
Step 3 Remove the XG filters, starting in the middle of the hood: (3A) Grab the handles on either side and lift the filter up,
(3B) Pull the bottom of the filter toward yourself, (3C) Lower the filter out of the hood. Repeat this process for each

Step 4 Frequent Maintenance:
Note: Required washing frequency is dependent on type of cooking and quantity of food cooked.
- Remove filters from hood and place each filter in a whirlpool sink or dishwasher.
- If using a whirlpool sink, cycle for 10 minutes. Use standard dishwash soap. (4A)
- If using a dishwasher, cycle it three times to ensure all grease is removed. (4B)
- If using standard sink, cover with hot water and degreaser and soak for two hours. Rinse after soaking.
Note: For hoods with large quantities of filters, it is acceptable to wash 3 to 4 filters each day, cycling all of the filters in three days.
Note: The beads will discolor. Standard cooking will turn the beads yellow in color. Open flame cooking will cause the beads to
blacken. Neither affects the performance of the filters.
Periodic Inspection:
- Each filter may be soaked in hot soapy water for two hours once a month prior to washing if grease build-up is found.
- Inspect the filters by holding it up to a light. Light shining through more than six holes in a group indicates filter
damage.
- For filter replacement, call 1-800-337-7400
Step 5 Replace XG filters in hood. Do Step 3 in reverse order. (3C, then 3B, then 3A)
Step 6 Latch filters together by connecting the hooks to the handle on the next filter. Slide hook on from the top and bottom
of the handle. Do not try to snap the hooks into place. Do Step in reverse.
Step 7 Replace the front XX filters. Do Step 1 in reverse. Be sure to install filters in the ends of the hood first, then install the
filters in the middle of the hood (1B, then 1A)
Caution: To prevent damage to filter media, do not wash second stage filters in detergents that contain
hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.
