Maintaining Your COS-63190 36'' Wall Mount Stainless Steel Range Hood
The COS-63190 36'' Wall Mount Stainless Steel Range Hood is designed for efficient performance and easy maintenance. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to clean and maintain its durable, reusable stainless steel ARC-FLOW filters effectively.
Step 1: Remove the Filters
Carefully take out the dishwasher-safe stainless steel grease filters from the range hood. These are permanent filters designed for repeated cleaning without replacement.
Step 2: Pre-soak (if needed)
Soak the filters in hot, soapy water or a degreasing solution for about 10-15 minutes to help loosen accumulated grease and debris.
Step 3: Clean the Filters
Use a soft brush or sponge to gently scrub the filters, focusing on the mesh surfaces to remove grease. Avoid abrasive tools that could damage the stainless steel.
Step 4: Dishwasher Cleaning
Alternatively, place the filters in the dishwasher for a thorough clean. Use a normal cycle with a standard detergent for best results, as the filters are dishwasher-safe.
Step 5: Dry Completely
Allow the filters to dry fully before reinstalling them to prevent any moisture damage or corrosion.
Step 6: Wipe Hood Surfaces
While filters are drying, wipe down the exterior and interior surfaces of the hood with a soft cloth and mild detergent or stainless steel cleaner to remove grease and keep the hood visually clean.
Step 7: Reinstall Filters
Once dry, reinstall the filters properly to ensure efficient grease capture and airflow.
Regular Maintenance
Clean the filters monthly or more frequently if heavy cooking or frying occurs. Wipe the hood surfaces weekly to prevent buildup. Regular filter maintenance is crucial for optimal performance, energy efficiency, and longevity.
Tips for Effective Maintenance
- Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish and integrity of the filters and hood.
- Scrub the filters gently with a soft brush or sponge.
