SERVICING AND CLEANING
Your vent hood requires regular cleaning and maintenance. Refer to these instructions for details. Performing these
procedures will ensure proper operation, appearance, and safety.
WARNINGS
• Prior to servicing or cleaning make sure the vent hood and grill below are completely cool and turned to the OFF
position, and the power supply is disconnected.
• Wear appropriate gloves and safety glasses during any servicing or cleaning.
• DO NOT spray any cleaner or liquids on the unit when hot.
• The unit MUST be cleaned regularly to prevent grease build-up. A clean and well maintained unit prevents the risk
of grease build-up.
• Verify proper operation after servicing or deep cleaning.
• See IMPORTANT PRE-INSTALLATION AND SAFETY INFORMATION section for additional related information.
CLEANING YOUR VENT HOOD
Before Each Use
1. Inspect and clean the interior and exterior surfaces of the unit: With a cool unit, clean any dust or grease as
needed with a damp clean cloth.
Twice A Year (or as needed) - Deep Clean
1. Interior components: In addition to cleaning the interior and exterior surfaces of the unit, a deep clean of the grease
filters, baffle, and fans MUST be performed twice year (or as needed depending on use). Follow the steps below.
a. Grease filters and baffle: With a cool unit, remove the grease filters and baffle. Clean the components in a soapy
water solution and set aside. For tough deposits/stains on the baffle, a copper pad can be used. Always wipe with
the grain.
b. Fans: Clean any dust or grease as needed with a damp clean cloth.
c. Re-install all components removed during this process.
Important: The grease filters and fans MUST be kept clean to ensure proper operation. If a filter becomes damaged
or not cleanable, it must be replaced.
2. Exterior of hood: With a cool unit, use a grill cleaner (or a soapy water solution)
and a clean cloth to remove grease and dirt from the outside of the unit. For tough
deposits/stains, a copper pad can be used. Always wipe with the grain. Rinse
with water and dry completely. Then follow up with a stainless steel cleaner and
a clean cloth.
If this routine cleaning is not performed, the stainless steel may become dull and
develop surface rust (due to use and atmospheric conditions). If left uncleaned,
significant damage and pitting may occur.
Important: DO NOT use steel wool, any other metal tools, or any other cleaners/chemicals to clean the exterior other
than recommended above. Such items promote rust.
For Environments High In Salt, Chloride, Or Other Corrosive Chemicals
When this vent hood is installed in a corrosive environment such as near the ocean (salt air), poolside (chlorine
and/or pool chemicals) or any other location with exposure to high salt/chloride content or corrosive chemicals/
solutions, it will be more susceptible to corrosion and MUST be maintained/cleaned more frequently.
• DO NOT store any corrosive chemicals (chlorine, hydrochloric acid, fertilizer, etc.) near your stainless steel vent hood.
• DO NOT allow any corrosive materials (masonry dust, debris, etc.) to settle on your stainless steel vent hood.
• These environments, chemicals, and materials may cause the 304 stainless steel to develop surface rust and
consequently pitting. Under these conditions the vent hood exterior MUST be cleaned at least monthly. Inspect your
vent hood often and clean accordingly.
