• Ensure filters are completely dry before re-installing.

If you are using the hood in recirculation mode, the activated carbon filters (Model No: CC170) cannot be washed and must be replaced periodically (typically every 3-6 months, depending on usage). Refer to the installation drawing for replacement instructions.

Clean the exterior surfaces of the hood with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
