Maintenance
Daily Maintenance
1.Wipe grease from exposed metal surfaces on the hood interior using a clean, dry cloth.
2.Visually inspect the filters or cartridges for grease accumulation.
3.Remove grease cup, empty contents, and replace cup.
Weekly Maintenance
1.Remove the grease filters or cartridges and wash in dishwasher or pot sink.
Note: Filters installed over heavy grease producing equipment may require more frequent cleaning. See filter cleaning schedule.
2.Before replacing filters, clean the interior plenum surfaces of any residual grease accumulations.
Periodic Maintenance
1.Painted hood exterior surfaces should be cleaned with a mild detergent solution.
2.Stainless steel hood exterior surfaces should be cleaned with a mild detergent and then polished with a good grade stainless steel polish to preserve the original luster.
Note: Never use abrasive cleaners or chemicals on hood surfaces. Never use chlorine based cleaners or iron wool pads to clean the hood. They may scratch or mar the material. Always rub with the grain of the stainless.
3.To maintain optimum performance of your hood and fan, duct cleaning should be performed as often as the application and code requires.

Condensate Hood Baffle Installation
1.Grasp the baffle with drain holes facing down and lift into the hood. For short hoods with only one baffle it may be necessary to turn the baffle slightly diagonal to fit it past the drain channel.
2.After the baffle clears the drain channel of the hood, turn the baffle so it is lined up with the upper hanger in the hood.
3.Hook the upper channel of the baffle over the upper hanger of the hood and set the lower edge of the baffle into the condensate gutter. Repeat until all baffles are installed in the hood.
4.Center the baffle from side to side in the hood.
