How to Clean
To remove and clean the filters:
- Push the filter toward the back of the hood and rotate the filter downward, as shown below.
- Filters may be placed in a dishwasher or hand washed with a mild detergent or spray degreaser.
- For cleaning product recommendations, refer to the Wolf Cleaning Guide.
- When filters are dry, install them.
- Reset the filter indicator by pressing the Filter button on the control module.
- The control module is on the front edge of the hood. Filter button location varies by model. Refer to the product Use and Care Guide for further information.
- Do not use the ventilation hood without filters. This may cause damage to the blower or other internal components of the hood.
- To reduce the risk of a grease fire, clean the ventilation products frequently. Do not allow grease to accumulate on the fan or filter.
If using a recirculating kit, see Replacing Pro Hood Recirculating Filters for information on replacing the charcoal filters.
- Contact a professional cleaning service in your area for further cleaning of grease from ventilation systems.
- Some Factory Certified Service providers may clean filters for a cost. Contact them for rates for cleaning.
