Use and Care Information
Operations
•
Read and understand all instructions and warnings in this manual before operating the appliance. Save these
instructions for future reference.
•
Always leave safety grills and filters in place. Without these components, operating fans could catch on to hair, fingers
and loose clothing.
•
NEVER dispose cigarette ashes, ignitable substances, or any foreign objects into fans.
•
NEVER leave cooking unattended. When frying, oil in the pan can easily overheat and catch fire. The risk of self
combustion is higher when the oil has been used several times.
• NEVER cook on “open” flames under the range hood. Check deep-fryers during use; superheated oil may be
flammable.
Cleaning
• The saturation of greasy residue in the fan and filters may cause increased inflammability. Keep unit clean and free of
grease and residue build-up at all times to prevent possible fires.
•
Filters must be cleaned periodically and free from accumulation of cooking residue (see Cleaning Instructions below).
Old and worn filters must be replaced immediately.
•
DO NOT operate fans when filters are removed. Never disassemble parts to clean without proper instructions.
Disassembly is recommended to be performed by qualified personnel only. Read and understand all instructions and
warnings in this manual before proceeding.
SAFETY WARNING: Never put your hand into area housing the fan while the fan is operating!
For optimal operation, clean range hood and all baffle/spacer/filter/grease tray/oil container regularly. Regular care
will help preserve the appearance of the range hood.
Cleaning Exterior Surfaces
•
Clean periodically with hot soapy water and clean cotton cloth. DO NOT use corrosive or abrasive detergent (e.g. Comet
Power Scrub®, EZ-Off® oven cleaner), or steel wool/scoring pads, which will scratch and damage the stainless steel
surface. For heavier soil use liquid degrease such as “Formula 409®” or “Fantastic®” brand cleaner.
•
If hood looks splotchy (stainless steel hood), use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the surface of the hood. Avoid getting
cleaning solution onto or into the control panel. Follow directions of the stainless steel cleaner.
CAUTION: DO NOT
leave on too long as this may cause damage to hood finish.
Use soft towel to wipe off the cleaning solution, gently
rub off any stubborn spots. Use dry soft towel to dry the hood.
•
After cleaning, you may use non abrasive stainless steel polish such as 3M® or ZEP®, to polish and buff out the
stainless luster and grain. Always scrub lightly, with clean cotton cloth, and with the grain.
•
DO NOT allow deposits to accumulate or remain on the hood.
•
DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface and cause rusting.
•
DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to remain in contact with stainless steel
for extended periods. Many of these compounds contain chemicals, which may be harmful.
•
Rinse with water after exposure to these compounds and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
