Cleaning and Maintenance, Heat Sensor Thermostat

Located to the left of the fan switches is the halogen light switch. This controls the 50 watt halogen lights located in the front of the hood. The halogen lights also have a switch which can be rotated in order to dim or brighten the lights. Turn the dimmer control knob clockwise to brighten the lights and counterclockwise to dim.

Each 18” H. indoor hood will be equipped with one or two heat lamp outlets. The switches to operate the heat lamps will be located on the right end of the control panel. The 250 watt infrared bulbs are not included and should be purchased locally. CAUTION: Do not place flammable material on warming shelves when using heat lamps.

Heat Sensor Thermostat

Your hood is equipped with a heat sensor thermostat. The thermostat will turn on or speed up the blower if it senses excessive heat above the cooking surface. If the blower is OFF - it turns the blower ON to HIGH speed. If the blower is ON at a lower speed setting - it turns the blower up to HIGH speed. When the temperature level drops to normal, the blower will return to its original setting. CAUTION: If the power to the hood is not disconnected during cleaning, the heat sensor thermostat can cause the blower to turn ON.

CAUTION

UNPLUG POWER CORDS FROM CONTROL PANEL

BEFORE CLEANING OR SERVICING HOOD.

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 the 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 usually dirty mesh filters. The capture of grease is also superior as baffle filters are almost universally required in commercial installations. 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 insure maximum filter effectiveness.

•Do not use caustic detergent to clean the filters. A caustic 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.

When cleaning filters in 18” H. hoods, always remove the grease trough and clean by placing in sink with hot soapy water.

Charcoal Filter Maintenance (Recirculating Hoods Only)

Replace the charcoal filters every 6 months to 1 year depending on the amount and type of cooking.

To replace, remove the baffle/charcoal filter assembly and slide the charcoal filter out of the channel and replace with new one. Do not put the charcoal filters in the dishwasher or oven.

Replacement filters are available through your local Viking Range dealer or you can call the Viking Online Store at 1-877-834-8222.

Replacement filters can also be ordered online at www.vikingrange.com

Cleaning the Hood Canopy

Finishes in enamel or stainless steel are highly resistant to damage or discoloration due to grease, steam, and heat provided that reasonable care is given to the equipment. The following suggestions will help you keep your hood looking new. Do not allow an excessive accumulation of grease. For best results, you should wipe your hood clean with a cloth dipped in warm, soapy water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANSERS, STEEL WOOL PADS, or ABRASIVE CLOTHS. DO NOT use cleaners that contain chlorides, the chlorides in the cleaner could damage the stainless steel finish.
