Maintenance Tips
-
Weekly Exterior Cleaning – Wipe the stainless‑steel island hood surface with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid steel wool, abrasive pads, or harsh chemicals to protect the finish.
-
Interior Grease Removal – Regularly clean the interior canopy and grease collection areas with a mild degreaser or dish soap to prevent buildup that can reduce airflow and performance.
-
Magic Lung Blower Care – This Designer Series hood uses a Magic Lung blower system (centrifugal grease capture inside the blower housing instead of traditional filters); periodically clean the blower housing and removable shields with warm, soapy water to maintain strong suction and quiet operation.
-
Light Maintenance – Turn off power and let bulbs cool before replacing; clean light covers to maintain good illumination over your cooking island.
-
Annual Duct & Fan Inspection – Inspect the blower area and ductwork at least once a year for grease or obstructions. Clear debris to preserve performance and reduce fire risk.
-
Post‑Cooking Ventilation – After heavy cooking, run the hood a few extra minutes to clear steam, smoke, and airborne grease before cleaning.
-
Professional Service When Needed – If airflow weakens or unusual noises occur, have a qualified technician inspect and service internal components.
