STAINLESS STEEL BAFFLE FILTERS

About Your New Filters

Stainless Steel Baffle Filters do not need linings or mesh inside of the filters and are completely constructed out of stainless steel. The stainless steel construction allows them to be used again after being cleaned or going through the dishwasher.

How do Baffle Filters Work?

They function by forcing the grease filled air to quickly and continuously change direction as it passes through the filter. The grease is unable to change direction as fast as the air carrying them, they end up getting caught on the metal blades and then trapped into the filter tray. These filters are both efficient and require less maintenance.

MAIN PARTS

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

1. Do not install the range hood where there are many open doors or windows. This will cause reduced performance. (Fig. 1)
2. Install the range hood right above the cooktop. The optimal distance between the cooktop and lower edge of the range hood is 24” to 36”. (Fig. 2). Install at the height appropriate to your ceiling.  Make sure the chimney can still reach the ceiling. If your ceiling or preference requires installation to be a few inches higher or lower than 24-36″ you may do so without major loss of performance.
3. In order to get optimal performance, do not over extend the exhaust pipe and avoid unnecessary bending. (Fig. 3)
4. The air outlet must be connected to chimney flues or combustion gas ducts. Under no circumstances should the air outlet be connected to ventilation ducts for rooms in which fuel-burning appliances are installed.

ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

• Read this User Guide and always save it for reference.
• A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints, and recipes.
• NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable and support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in the microwave oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise.
• ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy.
•  When using the microwave oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off.
• It is normal for the exterior of the microwave oven to be warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.
• Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room humidity and the moisture in food will influence the amount of moisture that condenses in the microwave oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Ventilation openings must not be blocked.
• The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
• Your microwave oven is rated at 1000 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or package directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum time and add time accordingly.

ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING

• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of the dish.
•  Watch the cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely over cooked can smoke or ignite.
• Cover foods while cooking. Check the recipe or cookbook for suggestions, such as paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap, or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
•  Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
•  Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible.
• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at  least once.
• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.
• Add standing time. Remove the food from the microwave oven and stir, if possible. Cover for the standing time which allows the food to finish cooking without overcooking.
•  Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures have been reached. Doneness signs include:
  • Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
  • Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
  • Poultry thigh joints move easily.
  • Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
  • Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Cookware and cooking materials

Warning :  Personal Injury Hazard Tightly-closed containers could explode. Closed containers should be opened and plastic pouches should be pierced before cooking.

Cookware and other materials must fit on the turntable. Always use oven mitts or pot holders because cookware may become hot. Refer to “Materials you can use” on page 7 and “Materials to be avoided” on page 7 as a guide, then test before using.

Using your microwave

Tips for the best results

Storage temperature :  Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods would at room temperature.

Size :  Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones. Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more evenly when cooked together. For more even results, reduce the power levels when cooking large pieces of food.

Natural moisture :  Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy heats water molecules very efficiently.

Stirring :  Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from the outside to the center to distribute the heat more evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster. Constant stirring is not necessary.

Turn over items :  Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts, or whole cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will help to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.

Food placement :  Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.

Food arrangement :  Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable tray.

Let the food stand :  After removing the food from the microwave, cover the food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish cooking. This will help the food finish in the center and avoids overcooking the out edges. The length of stand time depends on the density and surface area of the food items.

Wrapping in paper towels or waxed paper

Sandwiches and many other food types containing pre baked bread should be
wrapped prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent the food items from drying out while heating.

Tips
For best results:

• Use defrost only for raw food items.
• Defrosting gives best results when your food is taken directly from the freezer. If the food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature of 5°F (-15°C) or below, always program a lower food weight or lower cook time to prevent cooking the food.
• Enter a reduced weight if the frozen food has been outside the freezer for more than 20 minutes.
• The shape of the food package alters the defrosting time. For example, a shallow, rectangular food package will defrost more quickly than a  deepblock of food.
• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost.

Cleaning and maintaining your microwave

Cleaning the outside of your microwave

Exterior :  The outside surface is precoated steel and plastic. Clean the outside with mild soap and water, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.

Door : Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills  or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak, or dull the door surface.

Control panel : If the control panel is dirty, open the microwave door before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close the door and press STOP/CLEAR to clear any buttons you may have pressed.

Cleaning the inside of your microwave

Interior : Wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners or scouring pads. For baked-on food, use baking soda or a mild soap, then rinse thoroughly with hot water. To help loosen baked-on food particles or liquids, heat two cups of water (add lemon juice if you want to keep your microwave fresh smelling) in a four-cup measuring cup at high power for five minutes or until boiling. Let it cool in the microwave, then wipe the interior with a soft cloth.

Waveguide cover : The waveguide cover is located on the right wall inside your microwave. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good microwave performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER.

Removing odors : Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the microwave. To remove, combine one cup water, lemon juice, and several whole cloves in a two-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes at high power, then let it  cool in the microwave. Wipe the interior with a soft cloth.

Turntable and turntable support : Remove the turntable and turntable support and wash them in mild, sudsy water. For stubborn stains, use a mild cleanser and non-abrasive scouring sponge. You can also wash them in the top rack of a dishwasher. The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped up immediately.

Cleaning and replacing the filters

Cleaning the exhaust filters : The exhaust filters should be removed and cleaned about once a month.

CAUTION : Do not operate the oven hood without the filters properly in place.

1.  To remove the exhaust filters, slide the filter toward the back of the microwave, then pull it downward while sliding it out of the side slot. Repeat for the second filter.
   
2. Soak the ventilation filters in hot water using a mild detergent or wash in a dishwasher. Rinse well and shake to dry.
   
3. To reinstall the exhaust filter, slide it into the side slot, then push up and toward the front of the microwave to secure it. Repeat for the second filter.
