Alto-Shaam AR-7VH - Manual (Page 38)

To ensure optimum performance
from the ventless hood, it is important
to establish and maintain a regular
cleaning and maintenance schedule.
Use of the cleaning and maintenance
reminder form located in this manual
is highly recommended.
Access to the internal components, safety
switches, filters, etc., are gained by opening the access
door. A metal grease filter and charcoal filter are
located immediately inside the hood access door.
To help maintain the protective film coating on
polished stainless steel, clean the exterior of the
cabinet with a cleaner recommended for stainless steel
surfaces. Spray the cleaning agent on a clean cloth
and wipe with the grain of the stainless steel.
NOTE: Never use hydrochloric acid
(muriatic acid) on stainless steel.
CHARCOAL FILTER
The charcoal (odor and pollution control filter) is
located immediately inside the hood access door. The
charcoal filter should be inspected for contaminants
on a regular basis. Replacement must be made at
a minimum of three-month intervals — more
often if heavy contaminants are visible or if the
filter no longer controls odors.
To remove the
filter, grasp on both ends and pull out from either side
of the hood.
WHEN REPLACING THE FILTER, MAKE CERTAIN
THE AIR FLOW ARROW POINTS TOWARD THE
HOOD FAN. MAKE CERTAIN THE FILTER IS
REPLACED IN THE FOUR-SIDED METAL FRAME
PROVIDED WITH THE HOOD.
GREASE FILTERS &
METAL HOUSING ( PLENUM )
The metal grease filter is
located immediately inside the
hood. Cleaning frequency should
be based on oven usage. Grease-
laden products such as red meat,
poultry, etc., require cleaning
frequency of at least once a week.
Remove the grease filter by pulling it
straight out of the housing from either side. Place the
filter in the dishwasher or wash separately by placing
in hot, soapy water until all grease and particles have
been removed. Rinse thoroughly. Allow the filter to
air dry before reinstalling.
Clean the interior metal housing (plenum) with a
damp cloth and any good commercial detergent or
grease solvent at the recommended strength. Avoid
the use of abrasive cleaning compounds,
chloride-based cleaners, or cleaners containing
quaternary salts. Use a degreasing agent if necessary. GREASE FILTER
