To ensure optimum performance from the ventless
hood, it is important to establish and maintain a
regular cleaning and maintenance schedule.
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.

The charcoal filter should be inspected for
contaminant’s on a regular basis. Replacement must
be made at a minimum of three month intervals —
more often if heavy contaminant's are visible or if
the filter no longer controls odors.
To remove the filter, pull and slide out while holding
the bottom housing. When replacing the filter,
make certain the air flow arrow(s) point toward the
hood fan, and that the filter is replaced in the
three-sided metal frame provided with the hood.

Cleaning frequency should be based on oven usage
with a maximum of two weeks between cleaning if
the oven is used for non-grease laden products or
steam applications only. 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. 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.
To replace the grease filter, the air flow arrow on
the filter casing should be pointing toward the
hood fan.
