Cleaning Baffle Filters and Grease Trough:
The baffle filters are dishwasher safe or can be cleaned in a sink with warm, soapy water. Do not use caustic
detergent to clean the filters. Abrasive cleaners may harm or damage the finish. Do not disassemble the
baffle filter. Disassembly will void the warranty.
The grease trough should be cleaned with dish soap and warm water. Depending on the size of the hood, it
may be cumbersome to wash the tray in a kitchen sink. Spraying with a grease cutting cleaner for kitchen use
and rinsing with a garden hose in an open area may be the easiest way to clean the tray. Be sure to rinse
thoroughly and allow to dry completely before reinstalling.
Your hood must be kept clean and maintained properly
Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool pads, or abrasive cloths.
Do not allow grease to accumulate. For best results, wipe the canopy down with a soft cloth and warm,
soapy water.
The cleaning of the outside of the hood depends on the material used as a decorative exterior. See
following details for hood specific material cleaning instructions.
Do not use abrasive or aggressive chemicals to clean the interior or exterior of the hood.
