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.
