SAFETY WARNING: Never put your hand into area housing the fan while the fan is operating!
For optimal operation, clean range hood and all baffle/spacer/filter/grease tunnel/oil container
regularly. Regular care will help preserve the appearance of the range hood.
Clean periodically with hot soapy water and clean cotton cloth. DO NOT use corrosive or
abrasive detergent (e.g. Comet Power Scruv®, EZ-Off® oven cleaner), or steel wool/scoring
pads, which will scratch and damage the stainless steel surface. For heavier soil use liquid
degrease such as “Forumla 409®” or “Fantastic®” brand cleaner.
If the finish looks splotchy (stainless steel hood), use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the
surface of the hood. Use a dry soft towel to dry the hood.
CAUTION: Do not leave the
cleaning solution on the surface too long as this may damage the finish.
Avoid getting
cleaning solutions into or onto the control panel, computer components, wires or wired plugs.
Always wipe/clean/polish in the same direction as the brushed stainless steel finish. Never
wipe against the grain.
After cleaning, you may use non abrasive stainless steel polish such as 3M® or ZEP®, to
polish and buff out the stainless luster and grain. Always scrub lightly, with clean cotton
cloth, and with the grain.
DO NOT allow deposits to accumulate or remain on the hood, as they will become harder to
clean, and may cause scratching of the finish.
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 compounds contain chemicals, which
may be damaging. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
The metal filters are intended to help filter grease, residue and moisture from cooking.
They are required to be kept clean for performance and safety concerns, and may require
replacement if neglected.
Filters should be cleaned after every 30 hours of use or sooner depending on usage
conditions.
Remove and clean by hand or dishwasher. NOTE: Some newer dish detergents may cause
marking or blackening of aluminum metals, such as the mesh aluminum filters. Spray
“Formula 409®” or equivalent degreasing detergent and allow to soak if heavily soiled. Rinse
with warm water, allow the filters to dry and then and re-install before using hood.
Should filters wear out due to age and prolonged use, please contact your local reseller for
replacement filters. Consider preemptively purchasing an extra set of filters to store on hand,
or upgrading to stainless steel baffle filters.
Note: Also replace damaged filter that has punctured or broken mesh, bent or broken frame.
