MAINTENANCE

Proper maintenance of the Range Hood will
assure proper performance of the unit.

The grease filters should be cleaned fre-
quently. Use a warm detergent solution. Grease

filters are dishwasher safe.
To take off the grease filters: at the handle, push

the stop inwards and pull the filters downwards.

GREASEFILTERS

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 com-

pounds contain chemicals which may be harmful. Rinse with water after expo-

sure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

Painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent only.

device that will turn on or speed up the blower if it senses excessive heat above
the cooking surface.

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.
