Care and Cleaning
Cleaning the Intake Panel
the intake panels accumulate grease over time and
should be cleaned whenever the filters are washed.
After removing the grill and filters, wipe all external •
and internal aluminum surfaces with a sponge or cloth
moistened with a mild detergent. rinse off with water.
remove all moisture by wiping with a soft, dry polish-
ing cloth. always wipe in the direction of the grain. Do
not use any abrasive substances on the intake panels,
as this may permanently mar the finish.
Dry and reinstall all components prior to operating the
•
vent system.
Cleaning the Electronic Keypad
Do not use any abrasive materials to clean the keypad.
the keypad and surrounding the plastic bezel should •
be gently wiped with a lightly dampened sponge or
cloth. any material that becomes lodged between the
buttons and the surrounding bezel may be removed
by carefully dabbing with a cotton swab or the edge of
a cloth. use the above method to prevent the buttons
from sticking.
after cleaning, immediately dry the keypad area with
•
a soft cloth.
Cleaning the Top Cap
clean the top cap only when the intake vent is in the low-
ered position.
The top cap and end caps may have painted finishes
(depending on the model) that will scratch or stain if
cleaned with abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
gently wipe them with a sponge or soft cloth moist- •
ened in a mild detergent solution whenever they
becomes soiled. avoid introduction of moisture into
the electronic keypad area.
