from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a
prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
Hood cleaning
Avoid when choosing a detergent:
- Any cleaners that contain
bleach
will attack stainless steel.
- Any products containing:
chloride, fluoride, iodide, bromide
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.
Do:
• Regularly wash with clean cloth or rag soaked with warm water
and mild phosphate-free 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.
18. OPERATION
Always turn ON your hood before you begin cooking in order 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 fresher.

Grease Filters
Hybrid and micromesh filters should be cleaned monthly. Remove filters by pushing them towards the back of the hood and flipping them
downward. Use a warm phosphate-free dishwashing detergent solution to clean the filters. Let them dry and reinstall them. Discoloration
of the filters may occur if using phosphate detergents, or as a result of local water conditions−but this will not affect the filter performance.
This discoloration is not covered by the warranty.
