WARNING To avoid risk of fire and explosion do not use flammable liquids or solvents. Always unplug or disconnect the appliance from the power supply before servicing. WARNING: Be sure the entire hood (including the filters and light bulbs) has cooled and grease has solidified before attempting to clean any part of the appliance.

Optional Charcoal Filters If the model is not vented to the outside, the air will be recirculated through disposable charcoal filters that help remove smoke and odors.

The charcoal filters cannot be cleaned. They must be replaced. The charcoal filters are clipped inside of each metal grease filter (mounting instructions included with charcoal filters kit). The charcoal filters should be replaced when they are noticeably dirty or discolored (usually after 6-12 months, depending on hood usage). NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filters in an automatic dishwasher. NOTE: Charcoal filters are not included with the hood. They must be ordered from your supplier. Order the needed kit specifying your hood model and width size. 5
