Care, Cleaning and Maintenance
Hood Surface
Painted Surfaces:
For general care, wipe the outside of the hood with sudsy water or household cleaners such as Fantastic® or Formula 409®, rinse well and dry with a clean soft cloth to avoid water marks.
Stainless Steel Surfaces:
Wipe and dry stainless steel in the same direction as the grain. Avoid using too much pressure, which may mar the surface.
To remove finger prints and give added shine, use spray cleaners such as Stainless Steel Magic®.
Do not allow any cleaning compounds to remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods.
Filters
The hood has removable aluminum filters that must be cleaned when they collect grease.
The filters can be cleaned with soap and water or in the dishwasher.
DAH95 models are equipped with a filter light that will illuminate after 40 hours of operation. The light indicates that the filters need to be cleaned.When used over a wok or other high grease application, more frequent cleaning may be required.
Remove the filters for cleaning: push the handle in and pull down. The front will come out first. Then pull the back down and out. See Figure 2.
