Hood Cleaning
A. Hood Canopy
Wipe down the interior and exterior of the hood as needed with a soft
cloth and warm soapy water (liquid dish detergent is acceptable). Do
not use acids, abrasives, strong detergents, solvents, or scouring
pads. Stainless steel should be treated with a quality stainless steel
cleaner such as Stainless Steel Magic
®
(Vent-A-Hood part number
SS64
®
). Follow all label instructions. Do not polish across the grain
or in circles.
Real brass, real copper, and hammered copper hoods will oxidize
and/or tarnish over time. Use a quality copper or brass cleaner such
as Red Bear
®
Copper Polish (Vent-A-Hood
®
part number CP101).
Follow all label instructions. Do not polish across the grain or in
circles. Do not use acids, abrasives, strong detergents, degreasers,
solvents, or scouring pads.
B. Blower Unit
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).
The Vent-A-Hood
®
Magic Lung
®
blower captures grease by-products
in the blower housing(s). Cooking habits determine how often the
blower housing(s) will need to be cleaned.
To remove the blower housing(s) and damper(s), first remove the
blower shield (A). This is accomplished by loosening the two brass
screws on the bottom of the shield. The blower housing is removed
for cleaning by un-snapping the suitcase latches (B) (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 allen wrench that was provided
with this manual. See part C of this section for details on how to
clean the blower wheel(s).
