USING THE HOOD: Controls
1. FAN Control: Turn the FAN speed control to LO,
MED LO, MED HI or HI, as needed. Continuous
use of the fan system while cooking helps keep the
kitchen comfortable and less humid. It also reduces
cooking odors and soiling moisture that create a
frequent need for cleaning. NOTE: When the fan
is operating on the LO setting, it will be very quiet.
Always make sure that the fan is turned OFF when
you are finished in the kitchen.
2. LIGHT Control: Turn the LIGHT control to HI for
bright light while cooking. Turn to NITE for use as a
night light.

Filter
Be sure the circuit breaker is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the vent hood.
Reusable Metal Grease Filters
The hood has 2 metal reusable grease filters.
The metal filters trap grease released by foods on the
cooktop. They also help prevent flaming foods on the
cooktop from damaging the inside of the hood.
For this reason, the filters must ALWAYS be in place
when the hood is used. The grease filters should be
cleaned once a month, or as needed.
To clean the grease filters, soak them and then swish
them around in hot water and detergent. Don’t use
ammonia or ammonia products because they will darken
the metal. Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Light
brushing can be used to remove embedded dirt. Rinse,
shake and let them dry before replacing.
To remove:
Grasp the filter handle and pull it up, forward and out.
To replace:
1. Hold the filter at the
bottom with the handle.
2. Place the top end of the
filter against the inside
front of the hood.
3. Slide it up until it stops
and push the bottom
end back until it snaps
into place.
Surfaces
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the
surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy
water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe

the surface in the direction of the brush line. Follow
the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel
surface. Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers

clean the hood surface, use a hot, damp cloth with a
mild detergent suitable for painted surfaces. About one
tablespoon of ammonia may be added to the water. Use
a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove soap. Dry with a dry,
clean cloth.
