CLEANING

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock,
disconnect from power supply before cleaning.
Hybrid fi lters
Clean frequently using hot water and a mild
detergent or in your dishwasher. The hybrid fi lters
should be washed approximately every month
depending on the amount of usage. Wash more often
if your cooking style generates greater grease - like
frying foods or wok cooking.
Non-ducted recirculation fi lters
(available separately - see page 6)
The non-ducted recirculation fi lters should be changed
every 3 to 6 months. Replace more often if your
cooking style generates extra grease, such as
frying and wok cooking. Refer to installation
instructions included with non-ducted recirculation
fi lters.
Stainless steel hood surfaces
Do:
• Regularly wash 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/renovation,
cover the range hood to make sure no dust sticks
to the stainless steel surface.
Avoid when choosing a detergent:
• Any cleaners that contain bleach will attack
stainless steel.
• Any products containing: chloride, fl uoride, 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.
Blower assembly
The center of the fan wheels should be cleaned
frequently. Use a clean cloth soaked with warm
detergent solution.
The motors are permanently lubricated and never
need oiling. If the motor bearings make excessive or
unusual noise, replace the motor with the exact service
motor. The fan wheel should also be replaced.
