Located to the left of the fan switches is the halogen light switch. This
controls the 50 watt halogen lights located in the front of the hood. The
halogen lights also have a switch which can be rotated in order to dim or
brighten the lights. Turn the dimmer control knob clockwise to brighten the
lights and counterclockwise to dim.
CAUTION
UNPLUG POWER CORDS FROM CONTROL PANEL
BEFORE CLEANING OR SERVICING HOOD.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when
maintained properly and kept clean. Ventilation equipment is no exception.
Your hood must be kept clean and maintained properly.
Each 18” H. indoor hood will be equipped with one or two heat lamp
outlets. The switches to operate the heat lamps will be located on the right
end of the control panel. The 250 watt infrared bulbs are not included and
should be purchased locally. CAUTION: Do not place flammable material
on warming shelves when using heat lamps.
Cleaning the Baffle Filters
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 usually dirty mesh filters. The capture of grease is also superior as baffle
filters are almost universally required in commercial installations. 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 insure maximum filter effectiveness.
Heat Sensor Thermostat
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. If the blower is OFF - it turns the blower ON to HIGH speed. If the
blower is ON at a lower speed setting - it turns the blower up to HIGH
speed. When the temperature level drops to normal, the blower will return
to its original setting. CAUTION: If the power to the hood is not
disconnected during cleaning, the heat sensor thermostat can cause the
blower to turn ON.
•Do not use caustic detergent to clean the filters. A caustic cleaner may
damage the finish.
Using the Grill with Outdoor Approved Hoods
•Do not take the baffle filters apart to clean them. It is not necessary and will
void the filter warranty.
When cleaning filters in 18” H. hoods, always remove the grease trough and
clean by placing in sink with hot soapy water.
•Outdoor approved hood models should be installed in a covered non-
enclosed area. They should also be protected from natural elements (such as
rain) as much as possible.
•Always turn the outdoor hood on to the HI position before lighting the grill.
•Keep the grill canopy closed as much as possible when cooking so smoke is
exhausted out the back of the grill. This allows for optimum performance of
the hood.
•During breezy conditions, the performance of the outdoor hood may be
compromised.

Charcoal Filter Maintenance (Recirculating Hoods Only)
Replace the charcoal filters every 6 months to 1 year depending on the
amount and type of cooking.
Renewing the 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

Renewing the 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.
Replacement filters are available
through your local Viking Range
dealer or you can call the Viking
Online Store at 1-877-834-8222.
Brass Parts
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.
brass body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water. When hot
soapy water will not do the job, use every day household cleaners that are
not abrasive.

Cleaning the Hood Canopy
1. Remove the middle vent by gently raising up and pulling out.
2. Use the same cleaning directions as stated in “Cleaning the Hood
Canopy”.
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 you keep your
hood looking new. 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 cleaners that contain chlorides, the
chlorides in the cleaner could damage the stainless steel finish.
3. After cleaning, replace the middle vent.

to scrape stainless steel. Every three months give your hood a thorough
cleaning. On painted surfaces, use a new coat of wax. A good wax cleaner,
