Cleaning Baffl e Filters
As air passes through a baffl e fi lter, grease particles collect on the stainless steel U-shaped baffl e channels and drip down
into the bottom of the fi lter. Baffl e fi lters are extremely effi cient when compared to mesh fi lters. The power of the hood is
increased as more air passes through a baffl e fi lter than with mesh fi lters, which are usually dirty. Baffl e fi lters are almost
universally required in commercial installations due to their superior ability to capture grease. The baffl e fi lters should
be examined periodically to assure that all surfaces and parts are clean. The fi lters can be washed in a dishwasher or in a
sink with hot, soapy water. Simple periodic cleaning will ensure maximum fi lter effectiveness.
• Do not use caustic detergent to clean the fi lters. An abrasive or corrosive cleaner may damage the fi nish.
• Do not take the baffl e fi lters apart to clean them. It is not necessary and will void the fi lter warranty.
