Sirius Range Hoods SUF1 - Manual (Page 9)

M A I N T E N A N C E
The range hood should provide
many years of trouble free use
provided it is properly maintained.
Be sure the lights are cool before
cleaning the hood – they are
halogen and become extremely hot.
Cleaning the Filter
The aluminium mesh filters should
be washed by hand or in the
dishwasher as required. Damaged
and worn filters must be replaced
immediately. (Do not operate blower
when filters have been removed).
Allow filters to dry before replacing
them, otherwise water will be drawn
into the blower.
If a carbon filter has been fitted, this
must be replaced every 6 months as
a minimum, depending on usage
and type of cooking that is
performed.
It is suggested that a spare set of
carbon filters is kept on hand.
These can be ordered from the
supplier of your range hood.
Cleaning the Hood
The outside and interior of your hood
should be wiped regularly with a
clean, damp cloth and mild
household dish detergent or
degreaser.
Use a good quality non-abrasive
foaming type stainless steel cleaner
for exterior surfaces.
Follow the manufacturers directions.
Generally the foam is sprayed onto a
clean dry cloth and then applied to
the stainless steel. Allow the foam
to react on the surface for a few
minutes and then wipe with a clean
dry cloth.
On the surfaces that are exposed
directly to heat from the cook-top, it
is advisable to clean these regularly
to avoid the deposits from becoming
baked on.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents
as these will destroy the brushed
finish.
Light Bulb Replacement
(If in doubt, call 866.528.4987)
Turn blower and lights off. Make
sure the lights are cool. If new lights
do not operate, check fuses and be
sure globes and breakers are in-
serted correctly. Remove the glass-
blocking ring by prying out with a
sharp, soft instrument such as a
toothpick. (refer to Figure 10) Steel
instruments will scratch the surface.
Be careful that the glass does not
fall out and break.
Do not remove the entire fixture
(socket) as this is very difficult to
reinstall. Replace the appropriate
bulb. Check parts brochure or speci-
fication sheets on our website. Wipe
both sides of the glass whilst it is
out. Re-insert the glass-blocking
ring and fasten it.
