WARNING
To avoid the risk of fire, electric shock or
personal injury:
•
Turn off power to the hood at the circuit breaker
panel or fuse box before cleaning.
•
Clean the hood only in the manner specified.
•
Use only the types of cleaning solutions
specified in this manual.
•
Thoroughly dry the filter(s) immediately after
cleaning.
•
Turn off the cooktop or range and make sure
that the appliance and range hood are cool
before cleaning.

To avoid damage to the fan, do not reinstall
damaged filters.
CAUTION
•
Always wipe stainless steel (silver colored)
surfaces with the grain. To prevent scratching,
do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers on
stainless steel or glass surfaces.
Proper cleaning is necessary to ensure safe operation
and maintain hood performance and appearance. The
frequency of cleaning should be adjusted according
to the type and amount of cooking. Best results will
be achieved by cleaning soiled components as soon
as possible.
Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces
Clean stainless steel surfaces with a mild solution
of detergent or dishwashing soap and warm water.
Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
You may also use Stainless Steel Cleaner. Follow the
directions on the package.
Cleaning the Light Lens
Use a mild glass cleaner to remove smudges on
the light fixture lens. You can also clean it with Cook
Top Cleaning Creme. Follow the directions on the
package.

help remind you to clean the filter(s), the CLEAN
FILTER light will come on after 50 hours of fan
