Care and Cleaning
Baffle grease filters and drip trays
The metal baffles channel grease
released by foods on the cook top into
the trip trays. The baffles also help
prevent flaming foods on the cook top
from damaging the inside of the hood.
For this reason, the baffles must
ALWAYS be in place when the hood is
used. The grease baffles and drip trays
should be cleaned once a month, or as
needed.
To clean the grease baffles and drip
trays,
Drain and wipe all excess grease
with a dry paper towel, Soak them
and then swish them around in hot
water and detergent. Don’t use
ammonia or ammonia products
because they will darken the metal.
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.
Rinse, shake and let them dry before
replacing.
They may also be cleaned
in an automatic dishwasher.
To remove:
Grasp the baffle knobs and pull them up,
forward and out. Grasp the drip tray and
carefully lift it up and out of the hood
track.
To replace the drip trays:
1. Place and seat the drip tray into
the hood rack.
2. Slide them left and right until all
trays are side-by-side in place in
the track
To replace the baffles:
1. Hold the baffle by two knobs.
2. Place the up end of the baffle
against the inside front of the
hood.
3. Slide it up and push the bottom
end back until it firmly seats
into place
