Cleaning
CAUTION: DO NOT USE GASOLINE, BENZINE, THINNER, HARSH
CLEANSERS, ETC., AS THEY MAY DAMAGE THE RANGE HOOD.
1. Clean your range hood with a mild detergent, such as dishwashing liquid,
and dry with a soft cloth. NEVER USE ANY ABRASIVE PADS OR SCOURING
POWDERS. Completely dry before restoring power. NEVER IMMERSE
ELECTRICAL PARTS IN WATER.
2. The blower assembly can be vacuumed when build up (dirt, lint, etc.)
accumulates over time. The blower is permanently lubricated and does
not require oiling.
2. If the included removable grease trough is not already installed within the
hood, insert into the rear inside channel of the hood. Make sure the taller
side of the trough is facing towards the back of the hood (Figure 10).
3. Install the baffle filters along with any spacer bars that are required by
inserting the top of the filter into the top channel of the hood, then slide the
bottom of the filter into the bottom channel. In models with spacers, it is
easiest to install the spacer(s) first and the grease filters last (Figure 11).
