For your safety
Pour votre securité
Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
Avant de réparer ou de nettoyer votre appareil, débranchez le courant au niveau du panneau de service et verrouillez les mécanismes de débranchement de service pour éviter tout branchement accidentel au courant. Si vous ne pouvez pas verrouiller les mécanismes de débranchement de service, attachez soigneusement un avertissement bien visible, comme une étiquette, au panneau de service.
Mesh grease filters and drip tray
(on some models)
Some models have 2 metal reusable grease filters and drip tray.
The metal filters and drip tray trap grease released by foods on the cooktop. The filters also help prevent flaming foods on the cooktop from damaging the inside of the hood.
For this reason, the filters must ALWAYS be in place when the hood is used. The grease filters and drip tray should be cleaned every 6 months, or as needed.
To clean the drip tray, drain and wipe all excess grease with a dry paper towel. Wash with hot soapy water. Dry with a clean cloth.
To clean the grease filters, soak them and then swish them around in hot water and detergent. Don’t use ammonia or ammonia products because they will darken the metal. Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Light brushing can be used to remove embedded dirt. Rinse, shake and let them dry before replacing.
To remove:
Grasp the filter lock and pivot it open to release. Pull the filter down and out. Remove both filters. Grasp the drip tray, on both sides, by the front edge and carefully lift it up and out.
To replace:
1.Place and seat the drip tray into the hood track, making sure the rear tabs on the tray, hook into the back slots in the hood track.
2.Place the bottom of the filter in the lower hood rail.
3.Push the top of the filter back, open the filter lock and snap it into place.
