Maintenance Tips
-
Clean Grease Filters Every 1–2 Months: Remove and wash metal filters in hot, soapy water (or dishwasher if allowed) to maintain airflow and prevent grease buildup.

-
Interior Deep Clean (Every 3–6 Months): Wipe the hood’s interior and accessible fan area with a degreasing solution to reduce hidden grease and odors.
-
Check Ducts & Vents: Inspect vent paths and ductwork periodically for blockages to ensure optimal ventilation.
