ILTERS
Baffle filters should be cleaned monthly. Remove baffle filters by pushing them towards the back
of hood and rotating downward. Use a warm detergent solution to clean the filters. Let them dry
and reinstall them.
Baffle filters are dishwasher safe. 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.

soaked with warm water and mild soap or
liquid dish detergent.

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.

13. OPERATION
Always turn your blower 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.
CAUTION
After a power failure or during the range hood power up, a 5-second booting
sequence is executed. Wait for the control backlighting to turn off before use.
NOTE: Due to the particular sensitivity of the control interface, keep the glass panel clean as dirt
and condensation may cause erratic operation of the hood blower and/or lighting. If this
situation occurs, wipe the glass panel and wait 90 seconds. Then, adjust the blower
and/or lighting at your convenience.
