How to
clean the
vent system
The downdraft vent grille and filter should be
cleaned frequently—after every use is best.
Before cleaning the vent system, be sure
exhaust blower is shut off.
To remove parts for cleaning:
1.
Lift off the vent grille.
2.
Lift the filter straight up from the filter
supports.
How to
clean the
vent grille
To clean the vent grille, remove it from the
cooktop by lifting it up.
It can be cleaned by hand, in the dishwasher or
in a self-cleaning oven.
How to
clean the
filters
To clean the filter,
soak, then agitate filter in
hot detergent solution prepared in the sink.
Using ammonia or other alkali will darken the
metal. Light brushing can be used to remove
embedded dirt. Be careful not to disturb the
aluminum fabric of the filter body.
Rinse, shake and remove moisture before
replacing. It is advised that filters should be
cleaned after every use.
Before replacing the filter into the vent
system housing, inspect and wipe clean the
housing walls. Do not allow grease
accumulation to form.
Never operate the vent system without the
filter in place. In situations where flaming
might occur, the filter will retard entry of
flames into the exhaust blower.
To replace the filter after cleaning, place it on
the filter supports. Replace the vent grille.
