The metal mesh lters capture airborne grease generated by the cooking process.

Eventually, these lters become saturated and need to be cleaned.

To remove the metal grease lters: locate the locking lever / latch; while pressing or

pulling the latch (depending on the model), support the lter with the other hand, to

avoid dropping & potentially damaging it.

To clean the metal grease lters: wash in dishwasher as you would any other metal

utensils. DO NOT scrub the lter with a brush, since this may damage or compress the

mesh layers and reduce lter efciency. If lters are heavily saturated: soak the lters in

a pan or other container lled with warm water and several doses of de-greasing dish

soap; once most of the grease has been dissolved, clean the lters in the dishwasher as

usual.

Some range hood models have a cover panel (Perimeter Suction System deector

panel), that conceals the lters. The panel may be secured with mechanical latches

(press and release the corners of the panel), or by magnets (simply pull the panel away

from the hood body). The deector panel itself may also be removed for cleaning - see

diagram below. The panel may be cleaned with warm water & soap, or WD-40 spray,

or any other NON-ABRASIVE stainless steel cleaning spray.
