Your hood has removable aluminum or stainless steel 
filters, stainless steel grease trays and stainless steel side 
panels. They must be cleaned when the filter light 
illuminates on the control panel or whenever they collect 
grease. When used over a grill, wok or other high grease 
applications, more frequent cleaning may be required. 

To Remove Filters and Grease Trays: 

•

Turn the fan and lights off. Be sure filters are cool and 
grease has congealed before removal.

•

Remove in the following order:

1) Grease Trays — lift up and out.

2) Filters — Start with center filters, push up, then 

pull out from the bottom.

3) Side Panels — Remove these the same way as 

the filters.

•

The rating label and serial number labels are on the 
hood side panels and are visible after the filters have 
been removed.

•

The filters and grease trays can be washed by hand or 
in the dishwasher. The front and side panels may be 
washed with warm soapy water and polished with 
stainless steel cleaner. 

Reverse the above directions to reinsert the grease tray, 
filters and side panels. 

Note:
Do not use cooktop while hood is disassembled. Grease 
trays must be in place before installing the filters. 

Note:
Depending upon the size and model of hood, there will be 
from 1 to 3 filters per hood.
