PART 4 Use and Care
FILTER REMOVAL
Each filter has two aluminum cylindrical knobs, one towards the rear and one towards the front. The front knob is
actually a screw that holds the filter in place. The rear knob is only for grasping and is permanently connected to
the filter. To remove the filter, simply unscrew the front knob counter clockwise until the knob comes out of the
filter. Grasping the rear knob, push the filter backwards towards the rear of the hood until the front of the filter
drops down. Grasping the filter, remove it from the rear by now pulling it forward.
OPERATING CONTROLS:
Always activate the ventilator when using cooking appliances. For best performance, turn on the blower a few
minutes before starting to cook to establish an airflow pattern within the room. To use the electronic touch control,
touch the button that corresponds to the desired speed. To turn off blower, touch the illuminated speed button
again or the illuminated blower off control button. The electronic light control when touched comes on high; touch
again for night light setting, touch again for light off.
WARNING!
Do NOT operate the blower / ventilator system without the filters in place, or with dirty, grease laden filters.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS:
Do not operate the blower at a speed higher than necessary to remove the cooking exhaust. Running at excessive
speeds removes more air from the inside of the house that must be replaced by outside air. This may be especially
costly when your home’s heating or air conditioning system is in operation. Turn off the unit once the smoke and
cooking odors have been eliminated. Clean filters and grease laden surfaces often to improve efficiency. Always
use lids on cookware to retain heat and moisture. Minimize the amount of liquid used to cook food. Select
cookware of proper size, material and construction for the cooking task being performed.
CARE & CLEANING:
Proper cleaning is necessary to maintain performance and appearance, while also ensuring safe operation. The
frequency of cleaning should be according to the type and amount of cooking. Best results will be achieved by
cleaning soiled components as soon as possible. Filters must be cleaned regularly.
The filters may be cleaned by hand washing in hot water using a mild detergent solution, or by placing them in a
dishwasher. Locate holes on the sides of the filter. Put filter in dishwasher with holes facing up so detergent can
enter filters. Dry the filters completely before using again. Rinse and dry with a soft lint-free cloth. Always wipe
stainless steel surfaces with the grain. Never wipe across the grain. After cleaning, reinstall the filters carefully.
>> Most common scrubber type pads will scratch the hood.
CAUTION:
If a commercially available stainless steel cleaner is used, it is important to read the labels for
chlorine compounds. Chlorine is a corrosive substance, DO NOT USE. Follow polish manufacturer’s instructions.
