Grease filters
The grease filters should be cleaned periodically depending upon use
(approximately every two (2) months).
Use a warm detergent solution. Grease filters are dishwasher safe.
metal filters in the dishwasher using a non-phosphate detergent. Discoloration
of the filter may occur if using phosphate detergent or as a result of local water
conditions — but this will not affect filter performance. This discoloration is not
covered by the warranty.
To remove the grease filters, pull down on the filter latch and pull the filter
downwards (Fig. 25); remove the other filter in the same way.
Non-ducted recirculation filters
The charcoal filters should be changed every 3/6 months. Remove the wire

Hood Cleaning
Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Occasional care will
help preserve its fine appearance.
Cleaning tips:
• Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.
• Follow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to
avoid water marks.
• For discolorations or deposits that persist, use a non-scratching household cleanser
or stainless steel polishing powder with a little water and a soft cloth.
• For stubborn cases, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together with
cleanser and water. Rub lightly in direction of polishing lines or "grain" of the
stainless finish. Avoid using too much pressure which may mar the surface.
• DO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.
• DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere
to the surface causing rust.
• DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to
remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these com-
pounds contain chemicals which may be harmful. Rinse with water after expo-
sure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
• Surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent only.
