Cleaning and Maintenance
The effi ciency of the downdraft ventilation system
depends on the cleanliness of the intake housing and
fi lters. The frequency of cleaning depends on the amount
and type of cooking.
Always use the mildest cleaner that will do the job. Use
clean, soft cloths or sponges only.
Use all products according to package directions.
Rub stainless steel fi nishes in the direction of the grain.
Wipe area dry to avoid water marks.
After cleaning, place all parts in their proper positions
before using.
Do not use the ventilating system without the fi lters in
place or with grease-laden fi lters or surfaces.
Do not use steam cleaners to clean the appliance.
Hidden surfaces may have sharp edges. Use caution
when reaching behind or under appliance.

NOTES:
•
DO NOT use any aggressive, acidic or alkaline
cleaning agents.
•
DO NOT use abrasive products such as steel wool.
•
DO NOT use cellulose sponges. Some sponges are
processed with salt and can cause corrosion by
leaving salt deposits on the metal.
•
DO NOT allow any cleaning compounds to remain in
contact with stainless steel for extended periods.
•
DO NOT USE CHLORINE-BASED CLEANERS.
•
When cleaning the grease fi lters, also clean the metal
grease fi lter holder in the appliance with a moist
cloth.
•
Clean all-metal fi lters in the dishwasher using a non-
phosphate detergent. Discoloration of the fi lters may
occur if using phosphate detergents, or as a result
of local water conditions - but this will not affect fi lter
performance. This discoloration is not covered by the
warranty. To minimize or prevent discoloration, hand
wash fi lters using a mild detergent.
