Grease  lters
The grease  lters should be cleaned perio-
dically depending upon use (approximately
every (1) month).
Use a warm detergent solution. Grease  lters
are dishwasher safe.
Clean all-metal  lters in
the dishwasher or sink using a non-phosphate
detergent. Discoloration of the  lter may occur
if using phosphate detergent or as a result of
local water conditions — but this will not a ect

covered by the warranty.
To remove the grease  lter, push the retainer
near the handle inwards and pull the  lter

Hood Cleaning
Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Occasional care will
help preserve its  ne 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  nish. 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
contact stainless steel. Many of these compounds contain chemicals which may
be harmful. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
• DO NOT use bleach ever!
• Surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent only.
