Maintenance Tips
-
Clean Grease Filters Monthly: Remove and wash metal grease filters every ~1–2 months (or more often with heavy frying) to maintain strong airflow and suction. Soak in hot, soapy water, scrub gently, rinse, and fully dry before reinstalling.
-
Replace Charcoal Filters (Ductless): If your model uses charcoal odor filters (recirculating mode), replace them regularly (typically every 3–6 months) as they can’t be washed.
-
Weekly Exterior Wipe‑Down: Use a soft cloth with mild detergent or stainless‑steel cleaner weekly to remove grease and fingerprints; avoid abrasive pads that can scratch the finish.
-
Periodic Interior Care: Every few months, wipe interior surfaces and accessible fan parts to prevent grease buildup that can reduce performance or cause odors.
-
Inspect Ducts & Vents: Check vent paths and ductwork periodically to ensure they’re clear of buildup or blockages for optimal ventilation.
-
Safety First: Always disconnect power before cleaning and ensure all filters are securely reinstalled before use to avoid motor strain
