MAINTENANCE
For optimal operation, clean range hood, surfaces and filter regularly. Regular care will help preserve the
appearance of the range hood.
SAFETY WARNING: NEVER PUT YOUR HAND INTO THE AREA THAT HOUSES THE FAN.
CLEANING EXTERIOR SURFACES
Clean periodically with hot, soapy water and a clean cotton cloth. Do not use corrosive or abrasive
detergent or steel wool/scouring pads, which will scratch and damage the stainless steel surface. For
heavier soil, use liquid degreasing cleaner. Use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the surface of the hood.
Avoid getting cleaning solution onto or into the control panel. Follow directions for the stainless steel
cleaner.
CAUTION
Use soft towel to wipe off the cleaning solution, gently rubbing off any stubborn spots. Use dry soft towel
to dry the hood. Always scrub lightly, with a clean cotton cloth and in the direction of the grain.
Do not allow deposits to accumulate or remain on the hood. Do not use ordinary steel wool or steel
brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface and cause rusting.
Do not allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to remain in contact with
stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these compounds contain chemicals which may be harmful.
Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
CLEANING THE GREASE FILTERS
The micro holes stainless steel filters are intended to filter out residue and grease from cooking and are
required to be kept clean. Filters should be cleaned after 30 hours of use (or once every month, according
to usage). Remove and clean by hand in soapy water or in the dishwasher. Dry the filters and re-install.
If
cleaning the filters in the dishwasher, use a non-phosphate detergent. The use of detergent with
phosphate may cause discoloration of the filters but will not affect their performance. This discoloration
is not covered by the warranty.
REPLACING FILTERS
Should filters wear out due to age and prolonged use, please contact your service/parts provider for
replacement filters.
NOTE: ALSO REPLACE DAMAGED FILTER THAT HAVE BEEN PUNCTURED OR BROKEN.
CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE
Regularly wash surface with cloth or clean cloth soaked in warm water and mild soap or liquid dish
detergent. Always clean following the grain of the material and rinse thoroughly with clear water (2-3
times) before wiping completely. Specially designed stainless steel cleaner can also be used.
