5.1 Baffle Filter Cleaning

The Zephyr Siena ZSI-E36D uses baffle filters to capture grease and cooking odors. These filters should be cleaned regularly, typically every 3-6 weeks depending on cooking frequency.

• Removal: Carefully slide the baffle filters out of their slots.
• Cleaning: Wash the filters in hot, soapy water or place them in a dishwasher. Ensure they are completely dry before reinstallation.
• Reinstallation: Slide the clean, dry baffle filters back into their original positions.

5.2 Exterior Cleaning

The hood's exterior is made of stainless steel. To maintain its finish:

• Wipe surfaces regularly with a clean cloth dampened with warm water and a mild detergent.
• For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner, following the product's instructions.
• Always wipe in the direction of the grain to prevent scratching.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
