WARNING
To avoid the risk of fire/electric shock/personal injury:
• Turn off power to the hood at the circuit-breaker panel
or fuse box before cleaning.
• Clean the hood only as directed with the cleaning
solutions specified in this manual.
• Thoroughly dry the filter(s) immediately after cleaning.
• Turn off the cooktop/range, and ensure the appliance
has cooled sufficiently before cleaning it and the hood.
• To avoid damaging the fan, do not reinstall damaged
filters. (See Pg. 6 for replacement part numbers.)
Cleaning the Filters
Every 50 hours of fan use, the Clean Filter light comes on,
indicating the filters may need to be cleaned. (See the previ-
ous page for directions on how to reset the light.)
The filters are under the hood toward the rear. These
external components lie directly above all heat, steam, and
particulates that are drawn upward into the blower(s).
Removing the Filters
• Tension clips at the front of the hood hold the filters in place.
• You can easily access the main power switch when the filter
beneath it is removed.
• In performing this procedure, take care not to bump the
switch or scratch the grease channel along the hood’s
bottom-rear edge.
• If you cannot reach the filters from the floor, Dacor recom-
mends you use a stepstool or similar sturdy device to help
you reach up into the hood.
1. Grasping the filter knobs, lift and move the filter forward
(into the tension clips) until the back of the filter clears
the grease channel.
2. Carefully remove the filter without scratching the grease
channel.
Cleaning the Filters and Grease Channel
If you cannot reach the grease channel from the floor, Dacor
recommends you use a stepstool or similar sturdy device to
help you reach up into the hood.
1. Unhinge (lift with boths hands and detach), and clean
the grease channel with a hot, soapy sponge.
2. Wash the filters in hot, soapy water, or in a dishwasher.
3. Thoroughly dry the grease channel and filters.
Reinstalling the Filters and Grease Channel
1. Reattach the grease channel.
2. Grasping the knobs, press the filter’s front edge firmly
against the tension clip until the filter’s rear edge clears
the grease channel.
3. Carefully raise the filter’s rear edge up into the hood.
4. Gently release tension on the clip, and rest the filter’s
rear edge on the grease channel.
5. Wipe away fingerprints, and adjust the components as
needed.
