CLEANING (AK8100S, AK8200S)
Models AK8100S and AK8200S hoods are designed with a self cleaning feature. The centrifigal blower system automatically liquefies cooking residue accumulated in its internal housing and deposits the residue in the residue cups. Nevertheless, grease from cooking can also dry and adhere in the internal housing. Running the self clean function periodically will flush out accumulated residue in the range hood’s internal housing.
Cleaning should be completed approximately once a month under normal use. Non corrosive, non abrasive grease cutting spray detergents are recommended.
Self Cleaning Instructions:
Remove safety grilles by unscrewing the thumb screw on each grille. Turn blowers on lowest speed for cleaning.
With nozzle on spray, squirt grease cutting detergent directly onto blower blades 10 - 15 times. (Do not use oven cleaner)
Allow self cleaning to complete for 5 minutes, turn blower off. Remove residue cups. Clean with mild detergent or in dishwasher.
