Hood Operation  
Getting Started  
Always turn on your hood before you begin cooking to  
establish airflow in the kitchen. Also let the blower run for a  
few minutes to clear the air after you turn off your cooking  
appliance. This will help keep the kitchen air cleaner.

Before Using Hood  
Although the hood is cleaned upon completion of the manufacturing  
process, you will probably need to clean your hood again after  
installation. Wipe the surface of the hood with a good household  
cleaner applied with a soft cloth, or stainless steel polish, depending  
on the finish of your hood. This will leave a protective finish on the  
hood.

Each professional 18” H. wall hood will be equipped with one  
or two heat lamp outlets. The 250-watt infrared bulbs are not

As air passes through a baffle filter, grease particles collect on  
the stainless steel U-shaped baffle channels and drip down  
into the bottom of the filter. Baffle filters are extremely  
efficient when compared to mesh filters. The power of the  
hood is increased as more air passes through a baffle filter  
than with mesh filters, which are usually dirty. Baffle filters are  
almost universally required in commercial installations due to  
their superior ability to capture grease. The baffle filters  
should be examined periodically to assure that all surfaces and  
parts are clean. The filters can be washed in a dishwasher or in  
a sink with hot, soapy water. Simple periodic cleaning will  
ensure maximum filter effectiveness.  
• Do not use caustic detergent to clean the filters. An abrasive  
or corrosive cleaner may damage the finish.  
• Do not take the baffle filters apart to clean them. It is not  
necessary and will void the filter warranty.  
Using Outdoor Hoods  
Outdoor hood models should be installed in a covered  
yet non-enclosed area. They should also be protected from  
natural elements (such as rain) as much as possible.  
• Always turn the outdoor hood on to the “HIGH” position  
before lighting the grill.

• Keep the grill canopy closed as much as possible when  
cooking so smoke is exhausted from the back of the grill.  
This allows for optimum performance of the hood.  
• During breezy conditions, outdoor hoods may not perform  
well.

Cleaning and Maintenance  
Cleaning and Maintenance  
Cleaning Hood Canopy  
Finishes in enamel or stainless steel are highly resistant to  
damage or discoloration due to grease, steam, and heat—  
provided that reasonable care is given to the equipment. The  
following suggestions will help keep your hood looking new.

1. Do not allow an excessive accumulation of grease. For best  
results, you should wipe your hood clean with a cloth dipped in  
warm, soapy water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANSERS,  
STEEL WOOL PADS, OR ABRASIVE CLOTHS. DO NOT use  
cleansers that contain chlorides; the chlorides in the cleaner could  
damage the stainless steel finish. If you need to scrape stainless  
steel to remove encrusted materials, first soak the area with hot  
towels to loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon  
spatula or scraper. DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any  
other metal tool to scrape stainless steel.

always remove the grease trough and clean

the top and bottom of each spacer and  
slide spacer forward off of rear lip. Lower  
spacer rear, then slide spacer front out.  
2. Every 3 months give your hood a thorough cleaning. On  
painted surfaces, use a new coat of wax. A good wax  
cleaner—available at either a grocery or hardware store—will  
do both jobs at once. On stainless steel surfaces, use a good  
stainless steel cleaner and polish.  
Maintaining Charcoal Filter (Recirculating Hoods Only)  
Replace the charcoal filters every 6 months to 1 year depending on the  
amount and type of cooking you do.  
To replace, remove the baffle/charcoal filter  
assembly and slide the charcoal filter out of the  
channel and replace with a new one. Do not put  
the charcoal filters in the dishwasher.  
Renewing Enamel Finish  
If discoloration occurs, you should thoroughly polish the finish on  
your hood to renew its gloss and luster and to remove any  
grease residue which may have a yellowing effect. Use any good  
enamel polish, refrigerator polish, or automotive polish.  
Replacement filters are available through your local  
Viking Range dealer, or you can visit the Online  
Store at vikingrange.com  
CAUTION  
Do not use a porcelain cleaner or rough abrasive cleaner.  
CAUTION  
Renewing Stainless Steel Finish  
Regular cleaning is the best way to assure that your stainless  
steel finish stays bright and unscratched. Use lemon oil or  
stainless steel polish to coat and protect stainless steel.  
For general ventilating use only. DO NOT use to exhaust  
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
