Product Controls/Operation
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Ventilation
equipment is no exception. Your hood must be kept clean and maintained properly.
Cleaning Baffle Filters
As air passes through a baffle filter, grease particles collect on the stainless steel U-shaped baffle channels
and drip down into the bottom of the filter. Baffle filters are extremely efficient when compared to mesh
filters. The power of the hood is increased as more air passes through a baffle filter than with mesh filters,
which are usually dirty. Baffle filters are almost universally required in commercial installations due to their
superior ability to capture grease. The baffle filters should be examined periodically to assure that all surfaces
and parts are clean. The filters can be washed in a dishwasher or in a sink with hot, soapy water. Simple
periodic cleaning will ensure maximum filter effectiveness.
• Do not use caustic detergent to clean the filters. An abrasive or corrosive cleaner may damage the finish.
• Do not take the baffle filters apart to clean them. It is not necessary and will void the filter warranty.
CAUTION
Unplug power cords from control panel before cleaning or
servicing hood.
