SELF CLEAN FEATURE
set to lowest speed:
Using Self Cleaning:
Models UXT5230AD* & UXT5236AD* hoods are designed with a self cleaning feature. The centrifugal
blower system automatically liquefies cooking residue accumulated in its internal housing, and
deposits the residue in the cleaning cup. 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 Frequency:
Cleaning should be completed approximately once a month under normal use.
Detergent:
Non-corrosive, non-abrasive grease cutting spray detergents are recommended.
Self Clean:
Turn blower on lowest speed for cleaning.
With nozzle on ‘spray’, squirt the grease cutting
detergent through the safety grill,directly onto
blower blades 10-15 times.
Allow self cleaning to complete for 5 minutes,
turn blower off.
Remove cleaning cup. Clean w/ mild detergent
or in dishwasher under normal wash cycle.
(If desired, repeat above steps with water
to rinse out detergent)
WARNING: Use only non-corrosive & non-abrasive
grease cutting detergents.
DO NOT USE OVEN CLEANERS.
