Maintenance Tips
-
Regular Surface Cleaning: Wipe interior and exterior stainless steel with a soft cloth and mild, non‑abrasive cleaner (warm, soapy water) to remove grease; avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive pads; rinse and dry after cleaning.
-
Grease Capture & Blower Care: Periodically clean grease capture areas and any removable shields or trays in warm, soapy water to prevent buildup and maintain strong airflow.
-
Inspect Blower & Fan Area: With power off, check the blower housing and fan for grease/dust buildup and clear debris to ensure efficient ventilation and quieter operation.
-
Ductwork Check: Ensure the duct run is unobstructed, smooth, and properly sealed — straight, short ducting maximizes extraction efficiency.
-
Lights & Hardware: Replace any burnt‑out bulbs promptly and tighten mounting hardware to avoid vibration or noise during use.
