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 fan blade should
also be replaced.

GREASE FILTER

The grease filter should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm dishwashing detergent solution.
Grease filter is dishwasher safe.
Clean all-metal filter 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.

NON-DUCTED RECIRCULATION FILTER

The non-ducted recirculation filter 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 filter.

FAN BLADE

The fan blade should be cleaned frequently. Use a clean cloth soaked with warm detergent solution.

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, 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.

PAINTED FINISH CLEANING:

Clean with warm water and mild detergent only. If discoloration occurs, use a finish polish such
as automotive polish. (DO NOT use rough abrasive cleaner or porcelain cleaner.)
