Care and Cleaning

RANGE HOOD

WARNING: 

Failure to maintain basic standards of care 

and cleaning of the range hood will increase the risk of fire .

The range hood should be cleaned (regularly internally and externally) to preserve its appearance and performance . 

Do:

Do Not:

 

- Always clean in the direction of the grain (original  

polish lines) .

 

- Clean the range hood periodically with hot, soapy 

water and a clean cotton cloth . 

 

- Always rinse well with clean water two or three 

times after cleaning . Wipe completely dry with a 
soft non-abrasive cloth .

 

- After cleaning, you may polish with a non-abrasive 

stainless steel polish or cleaner . Always rub lightly 
and with the grain .

 

- Ensure that the venting system is free of debris, if 

you have one .

 

- Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents, steel 

wool, or scouring pads . These will scratch and 
damage the stainless steel surface .

 

- Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents, or any 

products containing chloride, fluoride, iodide, or 
bromide on this product, as they will deteriorate 
the surface rapidly .

 

- Do not allow cleaning compounds, salt solutions, 

disinfectants, or bleaches to remain in contact with 
the product for extended periods of time .

 

- Do not allow deposits to remain for long periods 

of time on the range hood . Rinse with water 
immediately and wipe dry with a clean cloth .

 

- Do not let plaster dust or any other construction 

residue enter the hood . During construction or 
renovation, cover the hood .

 - Combustible products used for cleaning such as 

acetone, alcohol, ether, or benzol are highly explosive 
and should never be used close to a range or stove .

BAFFLE FILTERS

The filter fitted by the factory is intended to filter out residue and grease from cooking . You do not need to replace them on a regular basis, 
but you should keep them clean .

Do:

Do Not:

 

- Clean the baffle filters once a month using non-

abrasive detergents, either by hand or in the 
dishwasher . When using a dishwasher, set the 
dishwasher to a low temperature and a short 
cycle setting . The filter may become discoloured 
in a dishwasher, but this does not affect its 
performance .

 

- Dry the baffle filters before re-installing them in the 

range hood .

 

- Do not allow oil to accumulate over more than 80% 

of the baffle filter surface . Oil accumulations may 
drip oil onto the range .
