Located to the left of the fan switches is the halogen light switch. This  
controls the 50 watt halogen lights located in the front of the hood. The  
halogen lights also have a switch which can be rotated in order to dim or  
brighten the lights. Turn the dimmer control knob clockwise to brighten the  
lights and counterclockwise to dim.  
CAUTION  
UNPLUG POWER CORDS FROM CONTROL PANEL  
BEFORE CLEANING OR SERVICING HOOD.  
Cleaning and Maintenance  
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when  
maintained properly and kept clean. Ventilation equipment is no exception.  
Your hood must be kept clean and maintained properly.  
Each 18” H. indoor hood will be equipped with one or two heat lamp  
outlets. The switches to operate the heat lamps will be located on the right  
end of the control panel. The 250 watt infrared bulbs are not included and  
should be purchased locally. CAUTION: Do not place flammable material  
on warming shelves when using heat lamps.  
Cleaning the Baffle Filters  
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 usually dirty mesh filters. The capture of grease is also superior as baffle  
filters are almost universally required in commercial installations. 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 insure maximum filter effectiveness.  
Heat Sensor Thermostat  
Your hood is equipped with a heat sensor thermostat. The thermostat will  
turn on or speed up the blower if it senses excessive heat above the cooking  
surface. If the blower is OFF - it turns the blower ON to HIGH speed. If the  
blower is ON at a lower speed setting - it turns the blower up to HIGH  
speed. When the temperature level drops to normal, the blower will return  
to its original setting. CAUTION: If the power to the hood is not  
disconnected during cleaning, the heat sensor thermostat can cause the  
blower to turn ON.  
•Do not use caustic detergent to clean the filters. A caustic cleaner may  
damage the finish.  
Using the Grill with Outdoor Approved Hoods  
•Do not take the baffle filters apart to clean them. It is not necessary and will  
void the filter warranty.  
When cleaning filters in 18” H. hoods, always remove the grease trough and  
clean by placing in sink with hot soapy water.  
•Outdoor approved hood models should be installed in a covered 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 HI position before lighting the grill.  
•Keep the grill canopy closed as much as possible when cooking so smoke is  
exhausted out the back of the grill. This allows for optimum performance of  
the hood.  
•During breezy conditions, the performance of the outdoor hood may be  
compromised.

Charcoal Filter Maintenance (Recirculating Hoods Only)  
Replace the charcoal filters every 6 months to 1 year depending on the  
amount and type of cooking.  
Renewing the 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  
To replace, remove the baffle/charcoal

abrasive cleaner.  
Renewing the 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.  
Replacement filters are available  
through your local Viking Range  
dealer or you can call the Viking  
Online Store at 1-877-834-8222.  
Brass Parts  
Caution: All brass special ordered parts are coated with an epoxy coating.  
Do not use brass cleaners or abrasive cleansers on the brass option parts.  
brass body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water. When hot  
soapy water will not do the job, use every day household cleaners that are  
not abrasive.

Cleaning the Hood Canopy  
1. Remove the middle vent by gently raising up and pulling out.  
2. Use the same cleaning directions as stated in “Cleaning the 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 you keep your  
hood looking new. 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 cleaners that contain chlorides, the  
chlorides in the cleaner could damage the stainless steel finish.
