Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when
maintained properly and kept clean. Ventilation equipment is no
exception. Your hood must be kept clean and maintained properly.
Cleaning Mesh Filters
As air passes through the filter, grease particles collect on the
stainless steel screen inside the filter. The filters should be examined
periodically to assure that all surfaces and parts are clean. This unit is
equipped with an alarm. Once the unit has been in operation for 48
hours, the letters “FILT” will appear on the display. The filters can then
be washed in a dishwasher or in a sink with hot, soapy water. Simple
periodic cleaning will ensure maximum effectiveness. DO NOT use
caustic detergent to clean the filters. An abrasive or corrosive cleaner
may damage the finish. DO NOT take the filters apart to clean them.
It is not necessary and will void the filter warranty. Once the filters have
been cleaned and placed back in the hood, the display is canceled by
holding the scroll up (+) and the scroll down (-) buttons for 5 seconds.

Cleaning Hood Canopy
Finishes in enamel or stainless steel are highly resistant to damage
or discoloration due to grease, steam, and heat—provided that
reasonable care is given to the equipment. The following suggestions
will help keep your hood looking new.
1. DO NOT allow an excessive accumulation of grease. For best results,
you should wipe your hood clean with a cloth dipped in warm, soapy
water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANSERS, STEEL WOOL PADS,
OR ABRASIVE CLOTHS. DO NOT use cleansers that contain chlorides;
the chlorides in the cleaner could damage the stainless steel finish. If
you need to scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, first
soak the area with hot towels to loosen the material, then use a
wooden or nylon spatula or scraper. DO NOT use a metal knife,
spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel.
2. Every 3 months give your hood a thorough cleaning. On painted
surfaces, use a new coat of wax. A good wax cleaner—available at
either a grocery or hardware store—will do both jobs at once. On
stainless steel surfaces, use a good stainless steel cleaner and polish.
