MAINTENANCE
CLEANING (AK8100S, AK8200S)
Slide o to remove
residue cups
Models AK8100S and AK8200S hoods are designed with a self cleaning feature.
The centrifigal blower system automatically liquefies cooking residue accumulated
in its internal housing and deposits the residue in the residue cups. Nevertheless,
grease from cooking can also dry and adhere in the internal housing. Running the
self clean function periodically will flush out accumulated residue in the range
hood’s internal housing.
Cleaning should be completed approximately once a month under normal use.
Non corrosive, non abrasive grease cutting spray detergents are recommended.
Self Cleaning Instructions:
Remove safety grilles by unscrewing the thumb screw on each grille.
Turn blowers on lowest speed for cleaning.
With nozzle on spray, squirt grease cutting detergent directly onto blower blades
10 - 15 times. (Do not use oven cleaner)
Allow self cleaning to complete for 5 minutes, turn blower off.
Remove residue cups. Clean with mild detergent or in dishwasher.
Re-install residue cups and safety grilles before using hood.

SURFACE MAINTENANCE (AK8000AS, AK8100S, AK8200S)
The AK8000AS metal mesh filter fitted by the factory is intended to
filter out residue and grease from cooking. It need not be replaced
on a regular basis but is required to be kept clean.
Filter should be cleaned every 30 days based on a usage of 1 hour
per day. Clean filter more often if performance decreases.
Remove and clean by hand or in dishwasher on low setting. Or spray
degreasing detergent and leave to soak if heavily soiled.
Dry filter and re-install before using hood.
Should filter wear out due to age and prolonged use, contact the
manufacturer.
Clean periodically with hot soapy water and clean cotton cloth. Do not use
corrosive or abrasive detergent or steel wool/scouring pads which will scratch
and damage surface.
For heavier soil use liquid degreaser. Do not use any product containing
chlorine bleach. Do not use “orange” cleaners.
