CARE AND CLEANING

Grease Filter

The efficiency of your downdraft depends on a clean filter. Frequency of cleaning depends on the type of cooking you do. Grease filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the downdraft without the filters in place.

To remove: Pull the filters out by grasping them and pulling straight up.

To clean: Soak and then agitate in a hot detergent solution. Light brushing may be used to remove imbedded soil. Rinse, shake and remove moisture before replacing.

With careful handling, the filter will last for years.

If replacement becomes necessary, order the part from your dealer.

NOTE: The filters are different sizes. Be sure to replace them with the longer filter on the left.

When replacing the filters, the long one goes in the left side.

Blower

1.DISCONNECT THE DOWNDRAFT POWER SUPPLY BY REMOVING THE POWER CORD FROM THE RECEPTACLE.

2.Remove the blower cover.

3.Use a vacuum hose to clean the blower. Do not immerse the blower in water.

4.Replace the blower cover.

5.Reconnect the power supply.

Painted or Metal Surfaces

Clean greasy surfaces frequently, using a mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cloth, steel wool pads or scouring powder because they will mar the surface.

Stainless Steel (on some models)

Clean with warm sudsy water, a stainless steel cleaner such as Kleen King® , or an all-purpose liquid or spray cleaner. Always scrub in the direction of the grain.

Rinse thoroughly with a sponge or cloth and clean water. Dry with a soft, clean cloth.

Do not use a soap-filled steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
