WARNING

To avoid the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury:

•Turn off power to the hood at the circuit breaker panel or fuse box before cleaning.

•Clean the hood only in the manner specified.

•Use only the types of cleaning solutions specified in this manual.

•Thoroughly dry the filter(s) immediately after cleaning.

•Turn off the cooktop or range and make sure that the appliance and range hood are cool before cleaning.

Caution

•Always wipe stainless steel (silver colored) surfaces with the grain. To prevent scratching, do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers on stainless steel or glass surfaces.

•To avoid damage to the blower system, do not reinstall damaged filters (see page 6 for replacement part numbers).

Proper cleaning is necessary to ensure safe operation and maintain hood performance and appearance. The frequency of cleaning should be adjusted according to the type and amount of cooking. Best results will be achieved by cleaning soiled components as soon as possible.

Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces

Clean stainless steel surfaces with a mild solution of detergent or dishwashing soap and warm water. Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

You may also use Dacor Stainless Steel Cleaner. Use it according to the directions on the package.

Cleaning the Light Lens

Use a mild glass cleaner to remove smudges on the light fixture lens. You can also clean it with Dacor Cook Top Cleaning Creme. Use it according to the directions on the package.

Cleaning the Filter(s)

Clean the filter a minimum of every two months. To help remind you to clean the filter(s), the control panel will flash after 30 hours of blower operation. Touch the timer reset key to reset.

Removing the Filter

The filter A is located on the bottom of the hood, directly above the cooking surface.

1.Hold the filter in place with one hand and pull back on the release lever B with the other.

2.While pulling back on the release lever, lower the filter out of the hood. On hoods with more than one filter, remove, clean and replace all of the filters.

Cleaning the Filter

Hand wash the filter in hot water with a mild detergent solution or dishwashing soap. You can also place it in an automatic dishwasher. Dry the filter completely before reinstalling.

Reinstalling the Filter:

1.Insert tabs on the end of the filter opposite the release lever into the slots toward the back of the hood (above the hood rim). The release lever must be facing down.

2.Pull back on the release lever while sliding the free end of the filter into the filter opening.

3.Release the lever.
