CARE AND CLEANING

General
A build-up of oil may occur if the Rangehood and baffle filters are not cleaned properly and regularly. Some discoloration of the baffle filter may occur if cleaned in the dishwasher. Regular maintenance is required to ensure the cooker hood functions properly. Clean the fan and other surfaces of the cooker hood regularly with a cloth dipped in denatured alcohol or a non- abrasive liquid cleaner. Suggest at least one time per month to clean. There is a fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.

RANGEHOOD SURFACES
Clean periodically with hot soapy water and a clean cotton cloth. Do not use abrasive detergent or steel wool/scouring pads which will scratch and damage the surfaces. For heavier deposits, use a liquid degreaser. After cleaning, you may use nonabrasive stainless steel polish/cleaners to polish and buff the stainless luster. Always rub lightly, with a clean cotton cloth and with the grain of the stainless steel.
Note: Never wipe or rub across the grain as this will damage the surface finish.

BAFFLE FILTERS
The baffle filters fitted by the factory are intended to filter out residue and grease from cooking. They are required to be kept clean and should be cleaned after every 30 hours of use or more often if required or after heavy cooking.
Note: Always turn the Range hood power off at the point before removing filters.

To Remove
Lift the latch gently pull down the front of the baffle filter and remove it.

To Clean

  1. Use warm soapy water and a soft cloth or put it into the dishwasher on a ‘normal’ cycle.
  2. Thoroughly clean and wipe down the inside of the Range hood canopy.

To Fit

  1. Position the rear of the baffle filter into the 2 slots.
    Gently rotate the baffle filter into position, lift the latch push into place, and release the latch

NOTES: If you clean the baffle filter in the dishwasher: load only the baffle filter and no other items as food particles from dishes can fasten in the filter.

  • DO NOT let dirt build up on the hood
  • DO NOT use steel wool or steel brushes to clean the hood
  • DO NOT leave salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds on the hood for any length of time as they may damage the stainless steel. Rinse after use with clean water and wipe dry with a clean cloth

Replacing the LED lights
The illumination is designed for use during cooking and not for prolonged general illumination of your outdoor kitchen. Prolonged use of the lights may reduce the lifetime of the LED lights.

WARNING: Do not touch or change lights while the hood is operating. Use only the same LED lights as the original specification. Replacement lights are available through the dealers.

  1. Take off the filters from the hood.
  2. Take off the two screws and replace the LED lights.
  3. Replace the screws and filters.

NB:
The light is only meant for use during cooking and not for illuminating the surroundings for longer periods. If the light is used for longer periods, this will considerably shorten the burn time of the lights. Read all instructions before installing and operating this appliance.
