Using Outdoor Hoods • 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 outdoor 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. 8 Cleaning and Maintenance CAUTION Unplug power cords from control panel before cleaning or servicing hood. 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. 1 2 1 1 1 2 2 3 3 Slide filter forward off of rear lip. Lower filter rear, then slide filter front out. 9 Slide filter forward off of rear lip.
