MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance of the Range Hood will
assure proper performance of the unit.
Grease Filter
The grease filter should be cleaned after
every 30 hours of operation. This range hood
has an operation timer which will alert you
after every 30 hours of use by lighting a red
LED above the “blower speed 0-1 button”.
Use a warm detergent solution. Grease filter
is dishwasher safe.
To remove the grease filter, press inward on
the clamp at the handle and pull the filter
downward.
Hood Cleaning
Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Occasional care will
help preserve its fine appearance.
Cleaning tips:
O Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.
O Follow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth
to avoid water marks.
O 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.
O 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.
O DO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.
O DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may
adhere to the surface causing rust.
O 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.

HEAT SENTRY™
Your hood is equipped with a HEAT SENTRY™ thermostat. This thermostat is a
device that will turn on or speed up the blower if it senses excessive heat above
the cooking surface.
1) If blower is OFF - it turns blower ON to HIGH speed.
2) If blower is ON at a lower speed setting - it turns blower up to HIGH speed.
When the temperature level drops to normal, the blower will return to its original
setting.
WARNING
The HEAT SENTRY thermostat can start the blower even if the hood is turned
OFF. When this occurs, it is impossible to turn the blower OFF with its switch.
If you must stop the blower, do it from the main electrical panel.
