SURFACE MAINTENANCE:
Clean periodically with hot soapy water and clean cotton cloth. Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergent,
or steel wool/scouring pads which will scratch and damage surface. Do not use products containing chlorine
bleach or orange cleaners.
For heavier soil use liquid degreaser.
After cleaning, you may use non-abrasive stainless steel polish/cleaners, to polish and buff out the stainless
luster and grain. Always scrub lightly using a micro fi ber or clean cotton cloth and with grain.
Aluminum Mesh Filters
The aluminum mesh filters are intended to trap residue and grease from cooking. Although the fi lters should
never need replacing, they are required to be cleaned every 30 days or more often depending on cooking
habits.
Filters may be placed in dishwasher at low heat or soaked in hot soapy water. Dry fi lters and re-install before
using hood.
CAUTION: Light bulb becomes extremely hot when turned on.
DO NOT touch bulb until switched off and cooled. Touching hot bulbs could cause serious burns.
Make sure all power is turned off and bulbs are not hot.
Remove by turning bulb counter clockwise. Note: Bulb does not unscrew; it turns 60 degrees, stops and falls
out.
If bulbs are diffi cult to turn due to prolonged use, fi rmly attach a glass suction cup approximately the diameter of
the bulb or use a rubber/latex glove and turn counter clockwise.
Replacement bulbs are available at most hardware stores or from Zephyronline.com.
Purchase type MR16 (GU-10) 35W halogen.
