Cleaning and Maintenance
Proper maintenance of the Range Hood will assure proper performance of the unit .
MOTOR
The motor is permanently lubricated and never needs oiling . If the motor bearings make
excessive or unusual noise, replace the motor with the exact service motor . The fan blade should
also be replaced .
GREASE FILTERS
The grease filters should be cleaned frequently . Use a warm dishwashing detergent solution .
Grease filters are dishwasher safe .
Clean all-metal filters in the dishwasher using a non-phosphate detergent . Discoloration of the
filters may occur if using phosphate detergents, or as a result of local water conditions - but this
will not affect filter performance . This discoloration is not covered by the warranty . To minimize or
prevent discoloration, hand wash filters using a mild detergent .
NON-DUCTED RECIRCULATION FILTERS
The non-ducted recirculation filters should be changed every 3 to 6 months . Replace more often
if your cooking style generates extra grease, such as frying and wok cooking . Refer to installation
instructions included with non-ducted recirculation filters .
FAN BLADE
The fan blade should be cleaned frequently . Use a clean cloth soaked with warm detergent solution .

detergent .
