Maintenance Tips
-
Regular Surface Cleaning: Wipe interior and exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and mild, non‑abrasive cleaner (warm, soapy water) to remove grease and protect the finish; avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive pads. Always rinse and dry after cleaning to prevent water spots.
-
Grease Capture & Filter Care: Clean grease capture areas or removable filters regularly in warm, soapy water or dishwasher (if allowed) to maintain strong airflow and reduce fire risk; dry completely before reinstalling.
-
Blower & Fan Area: With power off, periodically inspect the blower housing and fan area for dust or grease buildup; clear any debris to sustain efficient ventilation and quieter operation.
-
Ductwork Inspection: Ensure the duct run is unobstructed, smooth‑walled, and properly sealed — good ductwork preserves powerful extraction efficiency.
-
Lights & Mounting Hardware: Replace any burnt‑out bulbs promptly and tighten mounting hardware to prevent vibration or noise during use.
