Care and Cleaning
WARNING:
Be sure the entire appliance (including the
grease filters and light bulbs) has cooled and
grease has solidified before attempting to clean
any part of the appliance.
To Clean Hood Surface
•
For general care, wipe the outside of the stainless steel
with sudsy water or household cleaners such as
®
Fantastik
or Formula 409
clean soft cloth to avoid water marks.
•
Wipe and dry stainless steel in the same direction as
the grain. Avoid using too much pressure, which may
mar the surface.
•
Do not use abrasive products such as steel wool.
•
To remove finger prints and give added shine, use a
stainless steel cleaner such as Stainless Steel Magic
Hadco Stainless Steel Polish, Sprayway
Steel Polish and Cleaner, or 3M Stainless Steel
Cleaner and Polish.
•
Do not allow any cleaning compounds to remain in
contact with stainless steel for extended periods.
The use of brand names is intended only to indicate a type
of cleaner. This does not constitute an endorsement. The
omission of any brand name cleaner does not imply its
adequacy or inadequacy. Many products are regional in
distribution and can be found in the local markets. It is
imperative that all products be used in strict accordance
with instructions on the package.
CAUTION:
Do not place highly flammable material on
warming shelves.
To Clean Filters and Trays
Your hood has removable aluminum or stainless steel
filters, stainless steel grease trays and stainless steel side
panels. They must be cleaned when the filter light
illuminates on the control panel or whenever they collect
grease. When used over a grill, wok or other high grease
applications, more frequent cleaning may be required.
To Remove Filters and Grease Trays:
•
Turn the fan and lights off. Be sure filters are cool and
grease has congealed before removal.
