Maintenance

Daily Maintenance
1. Wipe grease from exposed metal surfaces on the
hood interior using a clean, dry cloth.
2. Visually inspect the filters or cartridges for grease
accumulation.
3. Remove grease cup, empty contents and replace
cup.
Weekly Maintenance
1. Remove the grease filters or cartridges and wash in
dishwasher or pot sink.
Note: Filters installed over heavy grease
producing equipment may require more frequent
cleaning. See Filter Washing Frequency Guide,
page 31.
2. Before replacing filters, clean the interior plenum
surfaces of any residual grease accumulations.
Periodic Maintenance
1. Painted hood exterior surfaces should be cleaned
with a mild detergent solution.
2. Stainless steel hood exterior surfaces should be
cleaned with a mild detergent and then polished with
a good grade stainless steel polish to preserve the
original luster.
Note: Never use abrasive cleaners or chemicals
on hood surfaces. Never use chlorine based
cleaners or iron wool pads to clean the hood.
They may scratch or mar the material. Always rub
with the grain of the stainless.
3. To maintain optimum performance of your hood and
fan, duct cleaning should be performed as often as
the application and code requires.
4. Recaulk the hoods with an NSF Approved silicone
caulk, (GE SCS1009 or its equivalent) as needed.
5. Inspect the supply air discharge portion on external
supply plenums to ensure the airstream is free from
debris or other blockage.
Condensate Hood Baffle Installation,
Fig. 19 and 20
1. Grasp the baffle with drain holes facing down and lift
into the hood. For short hoods with only one baffle, it
may be necessary to turn the baffle slightly diagonally
to fit it past the drain channel.
2. After the baffle clears the drain channel of the hood,
turn the baffle so it is lined up with the upper hanger
in the hood.
3. Hook the upper channel of the baffle over the upper
hanger of the hood and set the lower edge of the
baffle into the condensate gutter. Repeat until all
baffles are installed in the hood.
4. Center the baffle from side to side in the hood.
