MAINTENANCE
• Read and understand all instructions and warnings in this guide before operating the appliance. Save
this information for future reference.
•
Always leave the blower safety grills and the filter in place. Without these components, the blower can
snag hair, fingers and loose clothing.
• NEVER
expose blowers to cigarette ash, ignitable substance or other foreign objects.
• NEVER
leave cooking unattended. Hot oil used in pan frying can easily overheat and catch fire. The
risk higher when the oil has been used several times.
• NEVER COOK ON OPEN FLAME
under the range hood. Check deep-fryers during use as super-
heated oil may be flammable.
•
The build-up of greasy residue in the blower and filters increases the chance of fire. Keep the unit free
of grease and residue build-up at all times.
• Filters must be cleaned periodically and be free from accumulated cooking residue (see cleaning
instructions). Old and worn-out filters must be replaced immediately.
•
Do not operate blowers when filters are removed ; never disassemble parts to clean without proper
instructions. Disassembly should be performed by qualified personnel only. Read and understand all
instructions and warnings in this guide before proceeding.
•
Use two hands to remove filters.
Cleaning the filters and grease container regularly will optimize the range hood’s performances, prolong
its life and preserve its appearance.
CLEANING EXTERIOR SURFACES
• Clean periodically with hot soapy water and cotton cloth. Do not use corrosive agents or abrasive
detergents (e.g. Comet Power Scrub
©
, EZ-OFF
©
, Over Cleaner) ; do not use steel wool/scoring pads
that will scratch and damage the stainless steel surface. For heavier cleaning, use a liquid degreasing
agent such as Formula 409
©
or Fantastic
©.
•
If (stainless steel) hood looks splotchy, use a stainless steel cleaning to clean the surface of the hood.
Avoid getting cleaning solution onto or into the control panel. Follow the direction of the cleaner.
• DO NOT LEAVE THE CLEANER ON TOO LONG
, as this may cause damage to finish. Use soft towel to
wipe off the cleaning solution, gently rubbing away any stubborn spots. Use a dry, soft towel to dry
the hood.
•
After cleaning, you may use a non-abrasive stainless steel polish such as 3M
©
or ZEP
©
to polish and
bring out the lustre and grain of the material. Always scrub lightly, with a clean cotton cloth, and in the
direction of the grain.
• DO NOT
allow deposists to accumulate or remain on the hood.
• DO NOT
allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches or cleaning compounds to remain in contact with
stainless steel for extended periods. Many such compounds contain chemicals that may be harmful to
the steel. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
