Care and Cleanin
CARING FORYOUR RANGEHOOD
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Proper maintenance of the Range Hood will assure proper performance of the unit.
GreaseFilters
The grease filters should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm detergent solution.
Grease filters are dishwasher safe.
See "INSTALL FILTERS" section for removal and installation instructions.
Non-Ducted Recirculation Filter
The non-ducted recircutation filter should be changed every 6 months.
See "INSTALL FILTERS" section for removal and installation instructions.
HoodCleaning
Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Occasional care will
help preserve its fine appearance.
Cleaning tips:
Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.
Follow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to
avoid water marks.
For discolorations or deposits that persist, use a non-scratching household cleanser
or stainless steel polishing powder with a little water and a soft cloth.
For stubborn cases, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together with
cleanser and water. Rub lightly in direction of polishing lines or "grain" of the stainless
finish. Avoid using too much pressure which may mar the surface.
DO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.
DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere
to the surface causing rust.
DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds
to remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these
compounds contain chemicals which may be harmful. Rinse with water after
exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent only.

INSTALLTHE DUCTWORK
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
1 Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside.
2A straight, short duct run wilt allow the hood to perform most efficiently.
3 Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will reduce the performance
of the hood. Use as few of them as possible. Larger ducting may be
required for best performance with longer duct runs.
4 Install a roof or watt cap. Connect round metal ductwork to cap and
work back towards hood location. Use duct tape to seal the joints
between ductwork sections.

2 Install a standard 2" x 4" wall outlet box and 3-blade 125 volt, 15Amp
grounded receptacle.
3 Mount the receptacle 18" to 22" above the bottom of the hood.
4 Locate the receptacle within boundary shown and off center of the
