CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance of the Range Hood will assure proper performance of the unit.
Motor
The motor is permanently lubricated and never needs oiling. If the motor bearings make
excessive or unusual noise, replace the motor with the exact service motor. The impeller
should also be replaced.
Grease Filter
The grease filters should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm detergent solution. Grease
filter are dishwasher safe.
Clean all-metal filters in the dishwasher using a non-phosphate detergent. Discoloration of
the filter may occur if using phosphate detergents, or as a result of local water conditions -
but this will not affect filter performance. This discoloration is not covered by the warranty.
See “INSTALL FILTERS” section for removal and
installation instructions.
Drip Tray
The drip tray should be cleaned once a month or
as needed. To remove the drip tray, first remove
the baffle grease filters. Unscrew the thumb-
screws and grasp both ends of the drip tray. Gen-
tly lift the drip tray up until the bottom of it clears
the track. Pull the drip tray forward, being careful
not to spill the contents, and move it to a nearby
trash receptacle. To clean the drip tray, drain and
wipe all excess grease with a dry paper towel.
Wash with warm soapy water or in the dish-
washer. Dry with a clean cloth. To replace the
drip tray, lift it up and into the track on the hood.
Reinstall thumbscrews and baffle grease filters.
