Care and Maintenance
WARNING
To avoid the risk of fire, electric shock or personal
injury:
Turn off power to the hood at the circuit breaker panel •
or fuse box before cleaning.
Clean the hood only in the manner specified.
•
Use only the types of cleaning solutions specified in •
this manual.
Thoroughly dry the filter(s) immediately after cleaning.
•
Turn off the cooktop or range and make sure that the •
appliance and range hood are cool before cleaning.
To avoid damage to the fan, do not reinstall damaged
•
filters (see page 6 for replacement part numbers).
CAUTION
Always wipe stainless steel (silver colored) surfaces •
with the grain. To prevent scratching, do not use
abrasive cleaners or scrubbers on stainless steel or
glass surfaces.
Proper cleaning is necessary to ensure safe opera-
tion and maintain hood performance and appear-
ance. The frequency of cleaning should be adjusted
according to the type and amount of cooking. Best
results will be achieved by cleaning soiled compo-
nents as soon as possible.
Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces
Clean stainless steel surfaces with a mild solution
of detergent or dishwashing soap and warm water.
Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
You may also use Dacor Stainless Steel Cleaner. Use
it according to the directions on the package.
Cleaning the Light Lens
Use a mild glass cleaner to remove smudges on the
light fixture lens. You can also clean it with Dacor
Cook Top Cleaning Creme. Use it according to the
directions on the package.
Cleaning the Filter(s)
Clean the filter a minimum of every two months. To
help remind you to clean the filter(s), the CLEAN
FILTER light will come on after 50 hours of fan
operation. See page 4 for instructions on how to
reset the light.
To Remove the Filter(s):
The filter(s) A are located on the bottom of the
hood, directly above the cooking surface.
Hold the filter in place with one hand and push 1.
back on the release lever B with the other.
While pushing back on the release lever, lower the 2.
filter out of the hood. On hoods with more than one
filter, remove and clean all of the filters.
To Clean the Filter(s):
Hand wash the filter(s) in hot water with a mild
detergent solution or dishwashing soap. Or you can
place them in an automatic dishwasher. Dry the
filter(s) completely before reinstalling.
To Reinstall the Filter(s):
Insert tabs on the end of the filter opposite the 1.
release lever into the slots toward the back of the
hood (above the hood rim). The release lever must
be facing down.
