MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance of the Range Hood will
assure proper performance of the unit.
Grease Filters
Grease filters should be cleaned when the
light switch flashes or remains lit when the
blower is off (i.e. 30 hours of operation). Use
a warm detergent solution to clean filters.
Filters are dishwasher safe. See page 14 for
filter removal and installation instructions.
Non-ducted Recirculation Filter
The non-ducted recirculation filter should
be changed when the light switch flashes or
remains lit when the blower is off (i.e. 120
hours of operation). See page 14 for filter
removal and installation instructions.
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 by 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
cleaser and water. Rub lightly in direction of polishing lines or "grain" of the
stainless finish. Avoid using too much pressure which may mar 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.

INSTALL THE DUCTWORK
(DUCTED HOODS ONLY)
NOTE: T o reduce the risk of fire, use only
metal ductwork.
1. Decide where the ductwork will run
between the hood and the outside.
2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood
to perform most efficiently.
3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions
will reduce the performance of the hood.
Use as few of them as possible. Larger
ducting may be required for best
performance with longer duct runs.
4. Install a roof or wall cap. Connect round
metal ductwork to cap and work back towards hood location. Use duct tape to seal
the joints between ductwork sections.
