#852 AR-7E ROTISSERIE INSTALLATION/OPERATION/SERVICE MANUAL 29.
HOOD CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
To ensure optimum performance from the ventless
hood, it is important to establish and maintain a
regular cleaning and maintenance schedule. Use of
the cleaning and maintenance reminder form located
in this manual is highly recommended.
Access to the internal components, safety
switches, filters, etc., are gained by turning the single
fastener on the exterior top of the hood and opening
the door. A metal grease filter and charcoal filter are
located immediately inside the hood access door.
To help maintain the protective film coating on
polished stainless steel, clean the exterior of the
cabinet with a cleaner recommended for stainless
steel surfaces. Spray the cleaning agent on a clean
cloth and wipe with the grain of the stainless steel.
NOTE: Never use hydrochloric acid
(muriatic acid) on stainless steel.
CHARCOAL FILTER
The charcoal (odor and pollution control filter) is
located immediately inside the hood access door.
The charcoal filter should be inspected for
contaminants on a regular basis. Replacement must
be made at a minimum of three-month intervals —
more often if heavy contaminants are visible or if the
filter no longer controls odors. To remove the filter,
grasp on both ends and pull out from either side of
the hood.
WHEN REPLACING THE FILTER, MAKE CERTAIN
THE AIR FLOW ARROW POINTS LEFT
TOWARD THE HOOD FAN. MAKE CERTAIN THE
FILTER IS REPLACED IN THE FOUR-SIDED
METAL FRAME PROVIDED WITH THE HOOD.
GREASE FILTERS & METAL HOUSING (PLENUM)
The metal grease filter is located immediately inside
the hood. Cleaning frequency should be based on
oven usage. Grease-laden products such as
red meat, poultry, etc., require
cleaning frequency of at
least once a week.
Remove the grease
filter by pulling it straight
out of the housing from
either side. Place the filter
in the dishwasher or wash
separately by placing in hot,
soapy water until all grease and
particles have been removed. Rinse thoroughly.
Allow the filter to air dry before reinstalling.
Clean the interior metal housing (plenum) with a
damp cloth and any good commercial detergent or
grease solvent at the recommended strength. Avoid
the use of abrasive cleaning compounds, chloride-
based cleaners, or cleaners containing quaternary
salts. Use a degreasing agent if necessary.
THE EDGES INSIDE
THE HOOD
HOUSING CAN BE
SHARP. USE
CAUTION WHEN
REMOVING OR
REPLACING
FILTERS.
