Hood Cleaning (Continued)
To remove the blower housing(s) and damper(s), first remove the E-Z
Clean blower shield. The blower housing is removed for cleaning by
unsnapping the suitcase latches (one on each side of the housing).
Then, pull the housing forward and gently “tip” it downward to clear the
blower wheel(s). The blower wheel(s) can be removed (if necessary)
by using the hex wrench that was provided with this manual. See part
C of this section for details on how to clean the blower wheel(s).
Clean the shield(s), damper(s), and/or blower housing(s) in a sink
of warm soapy water (liquid dish detergent) and let soak for a few
minutes. Wash with a sponge or dishcloth, rinse and let drain before
reinstalling. Alternatively, the blower housing(s) and E-Z Clean blower
shield(s) may be placed into a dishwasher.
C. Blower Wheel
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, be sure the
power is turned off in the hood before removing the shield(s)
and blower housing(s).
Regular cleaning of the blower housing should prevent grease
accumulation on the blower wheel. If grease build-up should occur,
the blower wheel may easily be cleaned in place using a soft bristle
toothbrush and a common degreaser such as Formula 409
®
. Take
care not to move or lose the metal balancing clips that may be affixed
to the wheel (B).
