STAINLESS STEEL BAFFLE FILTERS

About Your New Filters

Stainless Steel Baffle Filters do not need linings or mesh inside of the
filters. Our Baffle filters are completely constructed out of stainless
steel. The stainless steel construction allows them to be used again
after being cleaned or going through the dishwasher.

How do Baffle Filters Work?

Baffle filters function by forcing the grease filled air to quickly and
continuously change direction as it passes through the filter. The
grease is unable to change direction as fast as the air carrying them,
they end up getting caught on the metal blades and then trapped into
the filter tray. These filters are both efficient and require less
maintenance.

WARNING

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded

WARNING - IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN A
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too
short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the
appliance.

.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS, IN THE EVENT OF
A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, READ THE FOLLOWING:

A. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close - fitting lid, cookie sheet, or other

metal tray, then turn off the gas burner or the electric element.

B. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out

immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

C. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - DO NOT USE WATER, including

wet dishcloths or towels - a violent steam explosion will result.

Always leave safety grills and filters in place. Without these
components, operating blowers could catch onto hair, fingers
and loose clothing. The manufacturer declines all responsibility
in the event of failure to review the instructions given here for
installation, maintenance, and suitable use of the product.

The manufacturer further declines all responsibility for injury
due to negligence and the warranty of the unit automatically
expires due to improper maintenance.

WARNING

Unplug or disconnect the appliance from the power
supply before servicing.

WARNING

To Reduce The Risk Of Fire Or Electric Shock, Do Not Use This
