FILTERS

F30WV Hood Only:

Remove aluminum filter by turning filter retainer to one side. (FIG. 13) Filter should be washed once a month in a hot deter- gent solution. Aluminum filters are dishwasher safe. When in- stalling filter, make sure that filter slides under retaining tabs on back of fan housing. Turn filter retainer so that arrows on re- tainer point toward front and back of hood.

The F24WR AND F30WR hoods are equipped with a ductfree filter. Remove filter by turning filter retainer to one side. (FIG. 13) The ductfree filter is not washable, and will last up to twelve months with normal use. Replace the filter when colored side becomes noticeably dirty or discolored.

When installing filter, make sure that filter slides under retain- ing tabs on back of fan housing. MAKE SURE THAT COLORED SIDE OF FILTER IS NEXT TO FAN WHEN FILTER IS IN- STALLED. Turn filter retainer so that arrows on retainer point toward front and back of hood.

FAN ASSEMBLY

Remove filter. Remove two screws holding motor bracket to range hood, and unplug fan assembly. Be careful not to allow fan assembly to drop when screws are removed. (FIG. 14)

CLEANING

Clean your hood with a mild detergent suitable for painted sur- faces. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLOTH, STEEL WOOL PADS OR SCOURING POWDERS.

Fan assembly may be vacuumed. Fan assembly is permanently lubricated, and never needs oiling.

HOW TO AVOID A COMMON RANGE-TOP GREASE FIRE

•Your range hood provides a protective barrier between the cooking surface and the cabinets.

•Keep fan, filters and grease laden surfaces CLEAN ac- cording to instructions.

•Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat to keep the cooking area and the hood cooler.

•Use high heat settings only when necessary.

•Never leave cooking surface unattended. Boil-over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

•Always use adequate-sized utensils.

•If preparing flaming foods, such as Cherries Jubilee, always turn hood ON to HIGH to prevent a high heat situation which can cause damage or fire.

HOW TO EXTINGUISH A COMMON RANGE-TOP GREASE FIRE

• Never pick up a flaming pan. If dropped, flames can spread
quickly.
• DO NOT USE WATER! A violent steam explosion may
result. Wet dishcloths or towels are also dangerous.
• Smother flames with a close fitting lid, cookie sheet or metal
tray.
• Flaming grease can also be extinguished with baking soda
or a multi-purpose dry chemical extinguisher.
• Turn off surface units - if you can do so without getting
burned.	5
