The efficiency of the range hood system depends on the cleanliness of the intake and filters.
The frequency of cleaning depends on the amount and type of cooking.
•
Do not use the ventilating system without the filters in place or with grease-laden filters or surfaces.
WARNING To avoid risk of fire and explosion do not use flammable liquids or solvents.
Always unplug or disconnect the appliance from the power supply before servicing.
WARNING: Be sure the entire hood (including the filters and light bulbs) has cooled and grease has
solidified before attempting to clean any part of the appliance.
Filters
These hoods have reusable metal grease filters.
The metal filters also help prevent flaming foods on
the cooktop from damaging the inside of the hood.
For this reason, the metal filters must ALWAYS be
in place when the hood is used.
To Clean Filters
•
The metal filters should be cleaned once a
month, or as needed.
•
To clean the metal filters, drain and wipe all
excess grease with a dry paper towel. Soak
them and then swish them around in hot water
and detergent. Don't use ammonia or ammonia
products because they will darken the metal.
•
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Rinse,
shake and let them dry before replacing. They
may also be cleaned in an automatic
dishwasher.
To Remove The Metal Grease Filters
•
Turn the fan and lights off.
•
Push each handle towards the back and pull
downwards.
To Replace The Metal Grease Filters
•
