CAUTION: NEVER PUT YOUR HAND INTO THE AREA HOUSING THE FAN WHILE THE
FAN IS OPERATING.
For the optimal level of operation, clean the range hood surface, safety screens, and oil
containers regularly.
To Clean Hood Surface
CAUTION: NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, PADS, OR CLOTHS.
*** Regular care will help preserve its fine appearance.
1) Use only mild soap or detergent solutions. Dry surfaces using soft cloth.
2) If hood looks splotchy (stainless steel hood), use an orange base cleaner to clean the
surface of the hood. Avoid cleaner to get on the control switches. Only spread a light
coating over the surface of the hood and leave on for a few minutes (do not leave on too
long or this may cause damage to hood finish). Use soft towel to wipe off the cleaning
solution, gently rubs any stubborn spots. Use a slightly damp towel to get rid of any
cleaning solution. Use dry soft towel to dry the hood.
3) To bring the glow back into a stainless steel finish, use a stainless steel cleaner.
4) DO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.
5) DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the
surface causing rust.
6) DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to remain
in contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these compounds contain
chemicals, which may be harmful. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a
clean cloth.
To Clean Oil Containers, Safety Screens and Impellers
CAUTION: DRAIN OIL CONTAINER BEFORE OIL CAN OVERFLOW.
