6.1 Cleaning Baffle Filters

- Power Off: Always turn off and unplug the range hood before cleaning.
- Remove Filters: Carefully unlatch and remove the baffle filters.
- Clean Filters: Wash filters in hot, soapy water or in a dishwasher. For stubborn grease, a degreasing agent may be used.
- Dry and Reinstall: Ensure filters are completely dry before reinstalling them.
6.2 Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces
To maintain the brushed stainless steel finish, clean regularly with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the grain.
- Do not use abrasive pads or cleaners, as these can scratch the surface.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
6.3 Replacing Halogen Lights
If a halogen light bulb burns out, replace it with a bulb of the same type and wattage. Ensure the power is disconnected before attempting replacement.
