CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE VENTILATION SYSTEM CLEANING THE VENTILATION SYSTEM
Cleaning requirements depend completely on usage and environment. The more high-heat and/or
EN
greasy cooking, the more often the hood and blower will need cleaning.
The grease tray and blower aren't visible from the outside, so they must be removed for inspection.
After you've inspected the tray a few times over the course of six months or a year, you'll be able to
set a cleaning schedule according to your usage pattern.
HOOD LINER HOOD LINER
Wipe down the interior of the hood liner as needed with a soft cloth and warm soapy water (liquid
dish detergent is acceptable). Do not use acids, abrasives, strong detergents, solvents, or scouring
pads. Stainless steel should be treated with a quality stainless steel cleaner such as Stainless Steel
Magic®. Follow all label instructions. Do not polish across the grain or in circles.
BLOWER HOUSING AND SHIELD BLOWER HOUSING AND SHIELD
The blower captures grease by-products in the blower housing(s) and blower shield(s). The blower
shields require more frequent cleaning than the blower housing but cooking usage determines how
often each item will need to be cleaned.

To reduce the risk of personal injury, be sure the power is turned off in
the hood before removing the shield(s) and blower housing(s).
Be careful to keep the tray level if the hood has been recently used and the
grease might still be warm.
