injury:
•  Turn off power to the hood at the circuit breaker panel 

or fuse box before cleaning.

•  Clean the hood only in the manner specified.
•  Use only the types of cleaning solutions specified in 

this manual.

•  Thoroughly dry the filters immediately after cleaning.
•  Turn off the cooktop or range and make sure that the 

appliance and range hood are cool before cleaning.

•  To avoid damage to the fan, do not reinstall damaged 

filters (see page 6 for replacement part numbers).

Always wipe stainless steel (silver colored) surfaces with 

the grain. To prevent scratching, do not use abrasive 

cleaners or scrubbers on stainless steel or glass 

surfaces.

Proper cleaning is necessary to ensure safe opera-

tion and maintain hood performance and appear-

ance. The frequency of cleaning should be adjusted 

according to the type and amount of cooking. Best 

results will be achieved by cleaning soiled compo-

nents as soon as possible.
