Filters
Be sure the circuit breaker is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the vent hood.
The metal baffles channel grease released by foods on the cooktop into the drip trays. The baffles also help prevent flaming foods on the cooktop from damaging the inside of the hood.
The baffles must ALWAYS be in place when the hood is in use. The grease baffles and drip trays are dishwashersafe and should be cleaned every month, depending on usage of the hood.
Grease Drip Tray
To install:
Place and seat the drip trays into the designated hood track. Slide them left or right until all trays are side-by- side in place in the track.
To remove:
Carefully, use the grease tray lip to lift the tray upwards and out. The tray will be free of the designated hood track.
To clean:
Swish the drip tray in hot soapy water and rinse in clean
water or wash it in the dishwasher. Do not use abrasive Drip Tray Replacement cleaners.
NOTE: Some discoloration of the filter may occur in the dishwasher.
Baffle Metal Grease Filter
To install:
Insert the top of the baffle into the track behind the control panel. The arrows on the side of the baffle should be pointing towards the front of the unit. Slide the baffle up and push the bottom end back until it firmly seats into place.
To remove:
Use front knob to pull filter forward, towards the control panel. The bottom of the filter becomes free of the grease drip tray. Use back knob to pull the baffle away from the track behind the control panel.
It is important for baffles to be placed correctly with arrows on the side pointing towards the front of the unit to channel grease to the drip trays and avoid grease accumulation in the baffles.
To clean:
Swish the filter in hot soapy water and rinse in clean water or wash it in the dishwasher. Do not use abrasive cleansers.
NOTE: Some discoloration of the filter may occur in the dishwasher.
