13. USE AND CARE
Grease Filters
The grease filters should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm detergent solution.
Grease filters are dishwasher safe. Wash more often if our cooking style generates
greater grease - like frying foods or wok cooking.
Remove filters by pushing filters towards the back of hood and rotating filters downward.
Blower Cleaning
Remove the filters in order to access the blower. Vacuum blower to clean. Do not
immerse in water. Refer to blower instruction manual for more details.
Grease Rail
The grease rail should be cleaned
frequently, especially if baffle filters
are used.
Remove filters, then, disassemble the
grease rail from the hood by removing
its 3 retaining screws. See illustration
beside.
Refer to stainless steel cleaning in Hood Cleaning section below. Once the grease
rail is clean and dry, reassemble it to the hood and reinstall filters.
