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.
Cleaning 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 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.
• Do not use caustic detergent to clean the filters. An
abrasive or corrosive cleaner may damage the finish.
• Do not take the baffle filters apart to clean them. It is
not necessary and will void the filter warranty.

Grease trough
(18” H. hoods only)
When cleaning filters in 18”H. hoods, always
remove the grease trough and clean by
soaking in a sink with hot soapy water.
Using VEWDO Outdoor Hood
(Damp Environment Approved
Models Only)
•
Outdoor hood models should be installed in a
covered yet non-enclosed area.
They should also
be protected from natural elements (such as rain) as
much as possible.
•
ALWAYS
turn the hood on to the “HIGH” position
before lighting the grill.
• Keep the grill canopy closed as much as possible
when cooking so smoke is exhausted from the back
of the grill. This allows for optimum performance of
the hood.
• During breezy conditions, outdoor hoods may not
perform well.
