17 Care and cleaning Care and cleaning The efficiency of the range hood system depends on the cleanliness of the intake and filters. The frequency of cleaning depends on the amount and type of cooking. • Do not use the ventilating system without the filters in place or with grease-laden filters or surfaces. Lights Before replacing the lamps, switch power off at service panel and lock service panel disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. 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. 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. NOTE: Turn off the lights and fan. Allow the lights to cool before handling. If new lights do not operate be sure lights are inserted correctly before calling service. Replace Lights • Remove the damaged light (twist counter clockwise) and replace with a new 120 Volt, 50 Watt (maximum) 50° halogen light made for a GU10 base, suitable for use in open luminarie. Filters The metal grease filters are made of anodized aluminum and are long lasting. To Remove The Metal Grease Filters • Turn the fan and lights off. • Push each handle towards the back and pull downwards. To Replace The Metal Grease Filters • Reverse procedure. 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). To Clean Filters • It is recommended that the filters be washed at least once a month; they can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher. • Drain water through edge holes and let each filter dry thoroughly before replacing it. The charcoal filters should be replaced every 4-6 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.
