W O L F DOWNDRAFT U S E & C A R E

GENERAL C A R E

Most surfaces of your downdraft ventilation system are stainless steel or aluminum. Although these surfaces are resistant to most stains, they are not totally impervious to damage. Salt and some cooking liquids may pit and stain the surface. Always remove these spills immediately.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Be careful not to soak the control module. Although they are sealed, excessive moisture may cause damage to the controls.

C L E A N I N G

Using a clean cloth or sponge, wipe with warm water and mild detergent. Rinse and dry immediately. Apply protective polish, always in the same direction as the grain.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use steel wool pads or abrasive cleaners; they will perma- nently scratch the surface.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild deter- gent only.

Spray Degreasers: Removes fingerprints and greasy spatters. Spray on a cloth and wipe the surface. Buff dry immediately to avoid streaks.

Hard Water Stains: Use white vinegar and

water.

Protective Polish: Apply to the surface to maintain luster and protect from some food stains. Use a soft, non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner like Signature Polish (see side note) and apply with a soft lint-free cloth.

FILTER C A R E

The aluminum mesh filters should be cleaned approximately every month, depending on use. The FILTER clean LED on your control module will illuminate when it is time to clean the filters. This indicator light comes on after approximately 30 hours of operation. You may need to clean the filters more often if your cooking style generates large amounts of grease, like frying foods or wok cooking.

The filters and filter covers are dishwasher safe and are designed to fit most dishwashers.

To remove the filters, push down on the filter frame while pulling the filter out away from the downdraft. Refer to the illustration below. Place the aluminum mesh filter and stainless steel cover into the dishwasher at approxi- mately 140˚F (60˚C), or hand wash, and use a biodegradable detergent. When filters are dry, reinstall using the reverse procedure.

IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT operate the downdraft without filters. This may cause damage to the blower or other internal components of the downdraft system.
