14. USE AND CARE
Baffle Filters
The baffle filters should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm detergent solution. Wash often if your cooking style generates a lot of grease—
like frying food or wok cooking.
Remove baffle filters by pushing them towards the back of the hood and rotating them downward. Baffle filters are dishwasher safe. Allow
filters to dry completely before reinstalling them in the hood.
You may clean all-metal filters in the dishwasher using a non-phosphate detergent. Discoloration of the filter may occur if using phosphate
detergent or as a result of local water conditions—but this will not affect filter performance. This discoloration is not covered by the warranty.
Grease Drip Rail
The grease drip rail should be cleaned frequently. Lift it out from the hood and use a warm detergent solution. As for the baffle filters, wash
more often if your cooking style generates a lot of grease—like frying foods or wok cooking. Allow grease drip rail to dry completely before
reinstalling it in the hood.
Blower(s) Cleaning (Internal)
Remove the filters in order to access the blower(s). Do not immerse in water.
Hood Cleaning
Stainless steel cleaning:
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:
• Use any steel or stainless steel wool or any other scrapers to
remove stubborn dirt.
• Use any harsh or abrasive cleansers.
• Allow dirt to accumulate.
• 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 or phosphate
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.
15. OPERATION
WARNING
!
The HEAT SENTRY can start the blower during a range top fire or other excessive heat situations even if the hood
is turned off. In this case, it is impossible to turn the blower OFF using control panel buttons. To turn blower OFF:
For exterior or in-line blower hoods, unplug the 2-prong connector cord from inside the hood (C). For internal
blower hoods, set the main power switch (D) (adjoining the electrical box) in OFF position (if it is possible to do
so safely in both cases).
Always turn your hood on before you begin cooking to establish an air flow in the kitchen. Let the blower run for a few minutes to clear the
air after you turn off the range. This will help keep the whole kitchen cleaner and brighter.
HEAT SENTRY™
This hood is equipped with a Heat Sentry™ thermostat. This thermostat is a device that will turn on the blower if it senses excessive heat
above the cooking surface.
1) If blower is OFF - it turns blower ON to the last selected speed.
2) If blower is already ON speed will remain the same.
When the temperature level drops to normal, the blower will return to its
original setting.
