Grease filters
The grease filters should be cleaned once a month or as needed. To remove grease filter, pull the metal
latch down. This will disengage the filter hood. Tilt the filter down, then remove. To clean the filters, use
a solution of warm water and detergent. Let them dry, then re install. The metal filters are
dishwasher-safe. Filters are made dishwasher friendly. Using a detergent containing phosphates and
local water conditions may cause discoloration of the filters, without affecting their performance. This
discoloration is not covered under your warranty.
What to do:
- Wash surfaces regularly with a cloth or a clean cloth soaked in warm water and mild soap or dish
detergent.
- Always clean in the direction of squall lines (direction of the grain).
- Always rinse well with clear water (2 or 3 times) after cleaning and dry completely.
- A household cleaner designed for stainless steel can also be used.
What not to do:
- Use steel wool or stainless steel or any other scrapers to remove stubborn dirt.
- Use any harsh or abrasive cleansers.
- Allow dirt to accumulate.
- Allowing the plaster dust or any other construction residues to reach the hood. Cover the hood while
working.
To avoid when choosing a detergent
- Any cleaners that contain bleach, because they attack stainless steel.
- Any product containing chloride, fluoride, iodide, bromide, they quickly deteriorate surfaces.
- Any combustible products used for cleaning such as acetone, alcohol, ether, benzene, etc. These
products are highly explosive and should never be used near a stove.
