Maintenance Tips
-
Exterior Cleaning – Wipe the stainless‑steel surface regularly with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid steel wool, abrasive pads, or harsh chemicals to prevent scratches and damage.

Duct & Fan Inspection – At least annually, check and clear the ductwork and blower area of any debris to maintain suction and prevent odors.
-
Post‑Cooking Ventilation – Run the hood for several extra minutes after heavy cooking to clear steam and grease particles.

Light Bulb Care – Power off, allow lights to cool, then replace bulbs with correct compatible types.
-
Professional Service – If you notice reduced airflow, unusual noise, or electrical issues, have a qualified technician inspect the unit.
