Grease Filters
The grease filters should be cleaned frequently. Use a
warm detergent solution. Grease filters are dishwasher
safe. Wash more often if your cooking style generates
greater grease—like frying foods or wok cooking.
Remove filters by pushing filters towards the back of hood
and rotating filters downward.
Blower Cleaning
Remove the filters in order to access the blower. Vacuum
blower to clean. Do not immerse in water. Refer to blower
instruction manual for more details.
Grease Rail
The grease rail should be cleaned frequently, especially if
baffle filters are used.
Remove filters, then, disassemble the grease rail from the hood
by removing its 3 retaining screws. See illustration below.
Refer to
Stainless steel cleaning in Hood Cleaning section
below. Once the grease rail is clean and dry, reassemble it
to the hood and reinstall filters.
Hood Cleaning
Stainless steel cleaning: How to maintain its “BRIGHT LOOK”
Do:
• Regularly wash with clean cloth or rag soaked with
warm water and mild soap or liquid dish detergent.
• Always clean in the direction of original polish lines.
• Always rinse well with clear water (2 or 3 times) after
cleaning. Wipe dry completely.
• You may also use a specialized household stainless
steel cleaner.
Don’t:
• Do not use any steel or stainless steel wool or any
other scrapers to remove stubborn dirt.
• Do not use any harsh or abrasive cleansers.
• Do not allow dirt to accumulate.
• Do not let plaster dust or any other construction
residues reach the hood. During construction/renovation,
cover the hood to make sure no dust sticks to stainless
steel surface.
Avoid: When choosing a detergent
• Any cleaners that contain
bleach
will attack stainless steel.
• Any products containing:
chloride, fluoride, iodide,
bromide
will deteriorate surfaces rapidly.
• Any combustible products used for cleaning such as
acetone, alcohol, ether, benzol
, etc., are highly explosive
and should never be used close to a range.
Enamel finish:
Clean with warm water and mild detergent only.
When discoloration occcurs, use a good enamel polish
such as automotive polish. (DO NOT use rough abrasive
cleaner or porcelain cleaner.)
