-
Halogen Light Maintenance – Power off and let cool before replacing bulbs; inspect lighting regularly for proper illumination.
-
Annual Duct & Fan Check – Inspect ductwork and blower area at least once a year for blockages or grease buildup to preserve performance and reduce fire risk.
-
Post‑Cooking Ventilation – Run the hood for a few extra minutes after heavy cooking to clear steam, smoke, and airborne grease for easier overall cleaning.
-
Professional Service as Needed – If suction seems weak, airflow decreases, or unusual noises occur, have a qualified technician check the blower and duct system.
