OPERATION AND CARE OF UNIT

CARE OF FILTERS:
ALUMINUM FILTER: For greater efficiency, the

permanent type aluminum filter should be removed and
cleaned periodically.
To clean, the filter should be soaked in hot water and
detergent, and thoroughly rinsed. The aluminum filter can
be cleaned in a dishwasher.

LIGHTS:
Do not use bulb larger than 60 watts in light socket.

CARE OF FAN MOTOR:
Fan motor has life time sealed bearings that never need

oiling under normal usage. A few drops on each bearing
after three years of heavy usage will prolong the motor
life. Clean motor with a damp cloth and grease cutting
detergent when a heavy coating of grease has
accumulated.

CARE OF EXTERIOR SURFACES:
Your range hood is a beautifully finished addition to your

kitchen and requires only the care you give your range to
preserve its lasting beauty. Clean with a mild detergent to
preserve finish. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners.
