Care and Cleaning
Cleaning
Hood Surface Cleaning
WARNING!
Be sure the entire appliance (including the filters and
light bulbs) has cooled and grease has solidified before
attempting to clean any part of the appliance.
•
For general care, wipe the outside of the stainless steel
with mild, lukewarm, soapy water. Always wipe and dry
in the direction of the stainless steel grain.
•
Wipe and dry stainless steel in the same direction as
the grain. Avoid using too much pressure, which may
mar the surface.
•
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.
•
To remove fingerprints and produce added shine, use
a stainless steel cleaner or conditioner. The
THERMADOR Stainless Steel Conditioner can be
purchased online (US only) at:
www.thermador-eshop.com (order part number
00576697).
Filters and Grease Tray Cleaning
Your hood has removable stainless steel filters and
stainless steel grease trays. They must be cleaned when
the filter light illuminates on the control panel or whenever
they collect grease. When used over a grill, wok or other
high grease applications, more frequent cleaning may be
required.
The filters and grease trays can be washed by hand or in
the dishwasher. Soak the ventilation filters in hot water
using a mild detergent. Rinse well and shake to dry.
Slight discoloration can occur when cleaning the filters in a
dishwasher. This has no influence on the function of the
grease filters.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use cooktop, rangetop, or range while hood is
disassembled.
