14. USE AND CARE
Baffle filters and impeller(s).
The baffle filters, impeller(s) and grease rail should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm detergent solution.
Baffle filters and impeller are dishwasher safe.
Remove filters by pushing filters towards the back of hood and rotating filters downward.
Clean all-metal filters in the dishwasher using a non-phosphate detergent. Discoloration of the filter may occur if using
phosphate detergent or as a result of local water conditions—but this will not affect filter performance. This discoloration
is not covered by the warranty.
Hood cleaning
Stainless steel cleaning: How to maintain its "BRIGHT LOOK"
Do:
- Regularly wash surfaces with clean cloth or rag soaked with warm water and mild soap or liquid dish detergent.
- Always clean in the direction of original polish lines.
- Always rinse well with clear water (2 or 3 times) after cleaning. Wipe dry completely.
- You may also use a specialized household stainless steel cleaner.
Don't:
- Use any steel or stainless steel wool or any other scrapers to remove stubborn dirt.
- Use any harsh or abrasive cleansers.
- Allow dirt to accumulate.
- Let plaster dust or any other construction residues reach the hood. During construction or renovation, cover
the hood to make sure no dust sticks to stainless steel surface.
Avoid: when choosing a detergent
- Any cleaners that contain bleach will attack stainless steel.
- Any products containing: chloride, fluoride, iodide, bromide will deteriorate surfaces rapidly.
- Any combustible products used for cleaning such as acetone, alcohol, ether, benzol, etc., are highly explosive
and should never be used close to a range.
Enamel finish:
Clean with warm water and mild detergent only. When discoloration occurs, use a good enamel polish such as
automotive polish. (DO NOT use rough abrasive cleaner or porcelain cleaner.)
15. OPERATION
Always turn your hood on before you begin cooking to establish an air flow in the kitchen. Let the blower run for a few
minutes to clear the air after you turn off the range. This will help keep the whole kitchen cleaner and brighter.
The hood is operated using the (3) slide controls located beneath the front edge of the hood.
