CARE OF FAN MOTOR:

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.

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
