CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
The mesh filters are intended to trap residue and grease
produced in the cooking process. To ensure optimal
performance, appearance, and a sanitary cooking environ-
ment, clean the filters, fan and grease laden surfaces regu-
larly. Use only a clean cloth and mild detergent solution on
stainless steel and painted surfaces. Do not use corrosive or
abrasive cleaning agents or steel wool or scouring pads as
these will scratch the surface. Do not use cleaning products
that use chlorine bleach or orange cleaners.
The grease filters, bottom panel surrounding the grease filters,
and the blower should be cleaned frequently. When washing
by hand use warm soapy (mild detergent) water. The grease
filter and blower wheels are dishwasher safe.
The motor is permanently lubricated and never needs oiling. If
the motor bearings make unusual or excessive noise, call for
service at 1-800-263-2629.
Hood Cleaning
Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep
clean. Occasional care will help preserve its fine appearance.
Cleaning tips:
Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.
Follow all cleaning with rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with
a clean, soft cloth to avoid water marks.
For discolorations or deposits that persist, use a non-
scratching household cleanser or stainless steel polishing
powder with a little water and a soft cloth.
For stubborn cases, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle
brush together with cleaning solution and water. Rub lightly
in direction of polishing lines or "grain" of the stainless finish.
Avoid using too much pressure which may alter the surface.
DO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.
DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits
of steel may adhere to the surface causing rust.
DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or
cleaning compounds to remain in contact with stainless steel
for extended periods.
Many of these compounds contain chemicals which may be
harmful.
Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean
cloth.
Painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild
detergent only.
