Cleaning and Maintenance
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when
maintained properly and kept clean. Ventilation equipment is no exception.
Your hood must be kept clean and maintained properly.

As air passes through the filter, grease particles collect on the stainless steel
screen inside the filter. The filters should be examined periodically to assure
that all surfaces and parts are clean. This unit is equipped with a filter clean
alarm. Once the unit has been in operation for 48 hours, the letters “FILT”
will appear on the display. The filters can be washed in a dishwasher or in a
sink with hot, soapy water. Simple periodic cleaning will insure maximum
filter effectiveness. Do not use caustic detergent to clean the filters. A caustic
cleaner may damage the finish. Do not take the filters apart to clean them. It
is not necessary and will void the filter warranty. Once the filters have been
cleaned and placed back in the hood, the display is canceled by holding the
scroll up (+) and the scroll down (-) buttons for 5 seconds.

Finishes in enamel or stainless steel are highly resistant to damage or
discoloration due to grease, steam, and heat provided that reasonable care is
given to the equipment. The following suggestions will help you keep your
hood looking new.
1. Do not allow an excessive accumulation of grease. For best results, you
should wipe your hood clean with a cloth dipped in warm, soapy water.

DO NOT use cleaners that contain chlorides, the
chlorides in the cleaner could damage the stainless steel finish. If
necessary to scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the
area with hot towels to loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon
spatula or scraper.

a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal
tool to scrape stainless steel.
2. Every three months give your hood a thorough cleaning. On painted
surfaces, use a new coat of wax. A good wax cleaner, available at either a
grocery or hardware store will do both jobs at once. On stainless steel
surfaces, use a good stainless steel cleaner and polish.
