CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance of the Range Hood will assure proper performance of the unit.
Motor
The motor is permanently lubricated and never needs oiling. If the motor bearings make
excessive or unusual noise, replace the motor with the exact service motor. The impeller
should also be replaced.
Grease Filter
The grease filters should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm detergent solution. Grease
filter are dishwasher safe.
Clean all-metal filters in the dishwasher using a non-phosphate detergent. Discoloration
of the filter may occur if using phosphate detergents, or as a result of local water
conditions - but this will not affect filter performance. This discoloration is not covered by
the warranty. See “INSTALL FILTERS” section for removal and installation instructions.
Drip Tray
The drip tray should be cleaned once a month or
as needed. To remove the drip tray, first remove
the baffle grease filters. Grasp both ends of the
drip tray. Gently lift the drip tray up until the bottom
of it clears the track. Pull the drip tray forward,
being careful not to spill the contents, and move it
to a nearby trash receptacle. To clean the drip tray,
drain and wipe all excess grease with a dry paper
towel. Wash with warm soapy water or in the
dishwasher. Dry with a clean cloth. To replace the
drip tray, lift it up and into the track on the hood.
Reinstall baffle grease filters.
Non-ducted Recirculation Filter
The non-ducted recirculation filter should be
changed every 6 months. Replace more often if
your cooking style generates extra grease, such as
frying and wok cooking. See “INSTALL FILTERS”
section for removal and installation instructions.
Stainless Steel Cleaning
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, 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.
