PART 3 Direction of Vent and Securing the Hood
MOUNTING HOLES:
Viking
®
Virtuoso Series range hoods come with x2 triangular mounting brackets
that attach to the top of the hood and the wall to support the hood and minimize "rocking". There are x4 holes in
each bracket that mount against the wall. If you can hit a stud with a lag bolt, only x2 per side should be sufficient. If
toggle bolts are required, use all four holes per bracket. It may also be necessary to screw through the actual back
of the hood into the wall. No holes are provided since studs vary in location, so drill holes where studs are known to
be (above the filters so screws do not show). NOTE: WHEN DRILLING THROUGH STAINLESS STEEL, IT IS
PREFERABLE TO USE TITANIUM DRILL BITS. AVOID DRILLING THROUGH THE UL LABEL OR ANY
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.
PART 4 Use and Care
FILTER REMOVAL
Each filter has two aluminum cylindrical knobs, one towards the rear and one towards the front. Both knobs are
only for grasping and are permanently connected to the filter. To remove the filter, grasp both knobs, and push the
filter backwards towards the rear of the hood until the front of the filter drops down. Grasping the filter, remove it
from the rear by now pulling it forward.
OPERATING CONTROLS:
Always activate the ventilator when using cooking appliances. For best performance, turn on the blower a few
minutes before starting to cook to establish an airflow pattern within the room. To use the electronic touch control,
touch the button that corresponds to the desired speed. To turn off blower, touch the illuminated speed button
again or the illuminated blower off control button. The electronic light control when touched comes on; touch again
for light off.
WARNING!
Do NOT operate the blower / ventilator system without the filters in place, or with dirty, grease laden filters.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS:
Do not operate the blower at a speed higher than necessary to remove the cooking exhaust. Running at excessive
speeds removes more air from the inside of the house that must be replaced by outside air. This may be especially
costly when your home’s heating or air conditioning system is in operation. Turn off the unit once the smoke and
cooking odors have been eliminated. Clean filters and grease laden surfaces often to improve efficiency. Always
use lids on cookware to retain heat and moisture. Minimize the amount of liquid used to cook food. Select
cookware of proper size, material and construction for the cooking task being performed.
CARE & CLEANING:
Proper cleaning is necessary to maintain performance and appearance, while also ensuring safe operation.
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. Filters must be cleaned regularly.
The filters may be cleaned by hand washing in hot water using a mild detergent solution, or by placing them in a
dishwasher. Locate holes on the sides of the filter. Put filter in dishwasher with holes facing up so detergent can
enter filters. Dry the filters completely before using again. Rinse and dry with a soft lint-free cloth. Always wipe
stainless steel surfaces with the grain. Never wipe across the grain. After cleaning, reinstall the filters carefully.
>> Most common scrubber type pads will scratch the hood.
CAUTION:
If a commercially available stainless steel cleaner is used, it is important to read the labels for chlorine compounds.
Chlorine is a corrosive substance, DO NOT USE. Follow polish manufacturer’s instructions.
