18. USE AND CARE
Hybrid Baffle Filters
The hybrid baffle filters should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm detergent solution. Wash more often if your cooking style generates
greater grease—like frying foods or wok cooking.
Remove hybrid baffle filters by pushing them towards the front of hood and rotating filters downward. Baffle filters are dishwasher safe.
Allow filters to dry completely before reinstalling them in the hood.
Clean all-metal filters in the dishwasher using a non-phosphate detergent. Discoloration of the filter may occur if using phosphate detergent
or as a result of local water conditions — but this will not affect filter performance. This discoloration is not covered by the warranty.
Grease Drip Rail
The grease drip rail should be cleaned frequently. Lift it out from the hood and use a warm detergent solution. Wash more often if your
cooking style generates greater grease—like frying foods or wok cooking. Allow grease drip rail to dry completely before reinstalling it in
the hood.
Blower Cleaning

Hood cleaning
Stainless steel cleaning:
Avoid when choosing a detergent:
- Any cleaners that contain bleach will attack stainless steel.
- Any products containing: chloride, fluoride, iodide, bromide will deteriorate surfaces rapidly.
- Any combustible products used for cleaning such as acetone, alcohol, ether, benzol, etc., are highly explosive and should never be
used close to a range.
Do:
Regularly wash with clean cloth or rag soaked with warm water
and mild soap or liquid dish detergent.
Always clean in the direction of original polish lines.
Always rinse well with clear water (2 or 3 times) after cleaning.
Wipe dry completely.
You may also use a specialized household stainless steel
cleaner.
Don’t:
Use any steel or stainless steel wool or any other scrapers to
remove stubborn dirt.
Use any harsh or abrasive cleansers.
Allow dirt to accumulate.
Let plaster dust or any other construction residues reach the
power pack. During construction/renovation, cover the power
pack to make sure no dust sticks to stainless steel surface.
CAUTION
Never attempt to wash the carbon filters in the non-duct kit. Those filters must be replaced by new ones. Refer to
the non-duct kit installation instructions for details.
