For general ventilating use only. DO NOT use to exhaust  
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.  
2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when  
cooking flaming foods. (i.e. Crepes suzette, Cherries jubilee,  
Peppercorn beef flambé).

allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.  
CAUTION  
If the power to the hood is not disconnected during  
cleaning, the heat sensor thermostat can cause the blower  
to turn on.  
4. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the  
size of the surface element.  
CAUTION  
WARNING

Before Using Hood  
Table of Contents  
Getting Started  
Although the hood is cleaned upon completion of the  
manufacturing process, you will probably need to clean your  
hood again after installation. Wipe the surface of the hood with  
a good household cleaner applied with a soft cloth, or stainless  
steel polish, depending on the finish of your hood. This will  
leave a protective finish on the hood.

Your hood is equipped with a heat sensor thermostat. The  
thermostat will turn on or speed up the blower if it senses  
excessive heat above the cooking surface. When the sensor  
activates, the letters “HOT” will appear on the display. If the  
blower is OFF - the sensor turns the blower on to HIGH speed.  
If the blower is on at a lower speed setting - the sensor turns  
the blower up to HIGH speed. When the temperature level  
drops to normal, the blower will return to its original setting  
and the display will be cleared.

Cleaning Baffle Filters  
Slide filter forward off of rear lip. Lower  
filter rear, then slide filter front out.  
Slide spacer forward off of rear lip. Lower  
spacer rear, then slide spacer front out.  
As air passes through a baffle filter, grease particles collect  
on the stainless steel U-shaped baffle channels and drip  
down into the bottom of the filter. Baffle filters are extremely  
efficient when compared to mesh filters. The power of the  
hood is increased as more air passes through a baffle filter  
than with mesh filters, which are usually dirty. Baffle filters are  
almost universally required in commercial installations due to  
their superior ability to capture grease. The baffle filters  
should be examined periodically to assure that all surfaces  
and parts are clean. The filters can be washed in a  
dishwasher or in a sink with hot, soapy water. Simple periodic  
cleaning will ensure maximum filter effectiveness.

Cleaning Mesh Filters  
Cleaning Hood Canopy  
As air passes through the filter, grease particles collect on the stainless  
steel screen inside the filter. The filters should be examined periodically  
to assure that all surfaces and parts are clean. This unit is equipped with  
an alarm. Once the unit has been in operation for 48 hours, the letters “FILT”  
will appear on the display. The filters can then be washed in a dishwasher or  
in a sink with hot, soapy water. Simple periodic cleaning will ensure maximum  
effectiveness. Do not use caustic detergent to clean the filters. An abrasive or  
corrosive cleaner may damage the finish. Do not take the filters apart to clean  
them. It is not necessary and will void the filter warranty. Once the filters have  
been cleaned and placed back in the hood, the display is canceled by  
holding the scroll up (+) and the scroll down (-) buttons for 5 seconds.  
Finishes in enamel or stainless steel are highly resistant to  
damage or discoloration due to grease, steam, and heat—  
provided that reasonable care is given to the equipment. The  
following suggestions will help keep your hood looking new.  
1. Do not allow an excessive accumulation of grease. For best  
results, you should wipe your hood clean with a cloth dipped in  
warm, soapy water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANSERS,  
STEEL WOOL PADS, OR ABRASIVE CLOTHS. DO NOT use  
cleansers that contain chlorides; the chlorides in the cleaner  
could damage the stainless steel finish. If you need to scrape  
stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, first soak the area  
with hot towels to loosen the material, then use a wooden or  
nylon spatula or scraper. DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or  
any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel.  
2. Every 3 months give your hood a thorough cleaning. On  
painted surfaces, use a new coat of wax. A good wax  
cleaner—available at either a grocery or hardware store—will  
do both jobs at once. On stainless steel surfaces, use a good  
stainless steel cleaner and polish.  
CAUTION  
For general ventilating use only. DO NOT use to exhaust hazardous  
or explosive materials and vapors.

Renewing Enamel Finish  
If discoloration occurs, you should thoroughly polish the finish  
on your hood to renew its gloss and luster and to remove any  
grease residue which may have a yellowing effect. Use any  
good enamel polish, refrigerator polish, or automotive polish.

Slide filter front over front lip. Push filter

Slide filter front over front lip. Push filter

Do not use a porcelain cleaner or rough abrasive cleaner.  
Maintaining Charcoal Filter (Recirculating Hoods Only)  
Replace the charcoal filters every 6 months to 1 year depending on the  
amount and type of cooking you do.  
Renewing Stainless Steel Finish  
Regular cleaning is the best way to assure that your stainless  
steel finish stays bright and unscratched. Use lemon oil or  
stainless steel polish to coat and protect stainless steel.  
To replace, remove the baffle/charcoal filter  
assembly and slide the charcoal filter out of the  
channel and replace with a new one. Do not put  
the charcoal filters in the dishwasher.  
CAUTION  
All brass special ordered parts are coated with an epoxy  
coating. DO NOT use brass cleaners or abrasive cleansers  
on the brass option parts.  
Replacement filters are available through your local  
Viking Range dealer, or you can call the Viking  
Online Store at 1-877-834-8222 or visit
