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. Unscrew the knobs and
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 knobs and 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.

times) after cleaning. Wipe dry completely.
• You may also use a specialized
household stainless steel cleaner.
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.
DON'T:
• Use any steel or stainless steel wool or
any other scrapers to remove stubborn dirt.
