Downdraft Vent System
Grease Filters
The efficiency of your vent system depends on a clean
filter. Frequency of cleaning depends on the type of
cooking you do. Grease filters should be cleaned at least
once a month. Never operate the vent system without the
filters in place.
To remove: Slip fingers into the vent holes, lift the vent
straight up and pull forward. Grasp the filter tabs, push
down and out of the retainer.
To clean: Soak and then agitate in a hot detergent
solution. Light brushing may be used to remove
embedded soil. Rinse, shake and remove moisture before
replacing. Do not clean the filters in the dishwasher.
With careful handling, the filter will last for years. If
replacement becomes necessary, order the part from
your dealer.
Painted Or Stainless Steel Surfaces
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm, sudsy
water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe
the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner
instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
For difficult stains on stainless steel, use a cleaner that
contains lactic acid or citric acid.
