Maintenance Tips

Wipe Exterior Weekly: Clean the stainless‑steel finish with a soft cloth and mild detergent or warm, soapy water to remove grease and fingerprints. Always wipe with the grain and avoid abrasive pads/harsh chemicals to protect the finish.

Clean Grease & Filters Regularly: Disconnect power before cleaning. Remove and wash grease filters frequently (about once a month with heavy use) in hot, soapy water or dishwasher to prevent clogging and maintain airflow.

Interior Surface Care: Wipe internal surfaces and blower housing after heavy cooking to reduce grease buildup that can reduce performance and increase fire risk.

Check Lights & Hardware: Replace burnt‑out bulbs and tighten loose screws to keep lighting bright and the hood secure.

Inspect Ductwork: For ducted installation, ensure vent openings and duct paths are clear of obstructions so the hood vents effectively outside.

Run Fan After Cooking: Let the fan run for 5–10 minutes after cooking to clear residual smoke and odors and reduce internal residue buildup.
