The unit must be off and the power cord must be
disconnected prior to beginning any service or cleaning.
Any components removed during servicing/cleaning
must be reinstalled, as previously instructed in this
manual, prior to future operation. CONTACT YOUR
DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS.
REMOVE FIRE MAGIC DUCT COVER (if applicable)
If a Fire Magic Duct Cover is installed, it must fi rst be
removed in order to access and disconnect the power cord.
To remove, use a medium Phillips screwdriver to unfasten
the screws found along the interior top perimeter of the
vent hood. Store the screws for later re-installation (after
service is complete).
STAINLESS STEEL CARE
Clean your vent hood by fi rst using Fire Magic Barbecue
and Grill Cleaner (part #3580-1) to remove grease and
dirt. Always wipe with the grain (See Fig. 22-1). Next, use
Fire Magic Stainless Steel Cleaner (3581-1) to restore
the stainless steel color. Finish by wiping your vent hood
down using Fire Magic Polish Wipes (3586-1).
Clean your vent hood at least once a month.
If your vent hood is installed in a seaside (salt air) or pool side
(chlorine) location, it will be more susceptible to corrosion
and must be maintained/cleaned more frequently. Do not
store chemicals (such as chlorine or fertilizer) near your
stainless steel appliance.
Due to the nature of stainless steel, surface iron oxide
deposits may appear. Do not be alarmed – these deposits
are removable with stainless-steel cleaner through prompt
and periodic maintenance. If not attended to promptly,
permanent pitting may occur.
GREASE FILTERS
Wash the fi lters frequently either in a detergent solution, or
by placing them in your dishwasher. Cleaning the fi lters on
a regular basis (depending on usage) will ensure optimal
performance and longevity of the vent hood.
To remove a fi lter; simply press in the lever and pull it away
from the vent hood (see Fig. 22-2).
Once the fi lters are clean, reinstall each into the vent hood
by fi rst pressing in the lever, then aligning the tabs found on
the fi lter into the notches found in the interior of the hood.
The fi lters will secure in place.
Important: If a fi lter becomes damaged or not cleanable;
it must be replaced.
FANS
Clean the fans on a regular basis (depending on usage) with
a damp towel to ensure optimal performance. (The grease
fi lters and baffl e will need to be removed to gain access.)
