Maintenance Tips
-
Weekly Surface Clean: Wipe the stainless‑steel exterior with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water to remove grease and fingerprints; dry completely to prevent streaks and water spots. Avoid corrosive or abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish.
-
Grease Filter Care: Regularly remove and clean grease filters (soak in warm, soapy water or use dishwasher if safe) to maintain strong airflow and effective smoke/odor removal, especially with frequent cooking.
-
Interior Cleaning: With power off, wipe the underside and interior surfaces to prevent grease buildup that can reduce ventilation performance and become a fire risk.
-
Light Fixture Maintenance: Turn lights off and let cool before gently cleaning the light covers to keep illumination bright and safe.
-
Annual Deep Clean: At least once a year, disconnect power and thoroughly clean internal components and blower housing to sustain optimal suction and extend hood life.
