CLEANING (AK8100S, AK8200S)  
CLEANING (AK8000AS)  
Models AK8100S and AK8200S hoods are designed with a self cleaning feature.  
The centrifigal blower system automatically liquefies cooking residue accumulated  
in its internal housing and deposits the residue in the residue cups. Nevertheless,  
grease from cooking can also dry and adhere in the internal housing. Running the  
self clean function periodically will flush out accumulated residue in the range  
hood’s internal housing.  
The AK8000AS metal mesh filter fitted by the factory is intended to  
filter out residue and grease from cooking. It need not be replaced  
on a regular basis but is required to be kept clean.  
Filter should be cleaned every 30 days based on a usage of 1 hour  
per day. Clean filter more often if performance decreases.  
Cleaning should be completed approximately once a month under normal use.  
Non corrosive, non abrasive grease cutting spray detergents are recommended.  
Remove and clean by hand or in dishwasher on low setting. Or spray  
degreasing detergent and leave to soak if heavily soiled.  
Self Cleaning Instructions:  
Dry filter and re-install before using hood.  
Remove safety grilles by unscrewing the thumb screw on each grille.  
Turn blowers on lowest speed for cleaning.  
Should filter wear out due to age and prolonged use, contact the  
manufacturer.  
With nozzle on spray, squirt grease cutting detergent directly onto blower blades  
10 - 15 times. (Do not use oven cleaner)  
Allow self cleaning to complete for 5 minutes, turn blower off.  
Remove residue cups. Clean with mild detergent or in dishwasher.  
Re-install residue cups and safety grilles before using hood.  
SURFACE MAINTENANCE (AK8000AS, AK8100S, AK8200S)  
Clean periodically with hot soapy water and clean cotton cloth. Do not use  
corrosive or abrasive detergent or steel wool/scouring pads which will scratch  
and damage surface.  
For heavier soil use liquid degreaser. Do not use any product containing  
chlorine bleach. Do not use “orange” cleaners.
