RANGE HOOD CARE

Cleaning

Exterior Surfaces:
To avoid damage to the exterior surface, do not use steel wool or soap-filled scouring pads. Always wipe dry to avoid water marks.

Cleaning Method:

Liquid detergent soap and water, or all-purpose cleanser:
Wipe with damp soft cloth or nonabrasive sponge, then rinse with clean water and wipe dry.

Grease Filters
IMPORTANT: Clean the hood and grease filters frequently according to the following instructions. Replace grease filters before operating hood. Clean once a month (or when the filter saturation indication system indicates it necessary) using non aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle. When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolor slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity. To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.

Charcoal Filter
It absorbs unpleasant odors caused by cooking.
The efficiency of the charcoal filter degrades slowly due to prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking, and the regularity of cleaning the grease filter. Replace the cartridge at least every five years.
It cannot be washed.
For maximum performance, the filter is larger than standard filters and needs to be installed on a support above the hood.

Installation:
Place the charcoal filter into the charcoal filter mounting bracket. Install the charcoal filter clamps in the locations shown.
NOTE: The opening of the charcoal filter should be placed facing down towards the hood.
NOTE: When used in recirculation mode, To Reduce the Risk of Fire and Shock use only conversion kit Model W11197817.
