Maintenance Tips
-
Wipe Exterior Weekly: Clean the stainless‑steel finish with a soft cloth and mild detergent or warm, soapy water to remove grease and fingerprints; always wipe with the grain and avoid abrasive/harsh cleaners to protect the finish.
-
Clean Grease Filters & Internal Surfaces: If this model uses removable metal grease filters, remove and clean them regularly in hot, soapy water or dishwasher (let dry fully before reinstalling). Wipe internal grease collection areas to prevent buildup and maintain airflow efficiency.
-
Inspect Ductwork: Periodically check that duct and vent paths are clear of obstructions so the blower vents smoke and odors effectively outside.
-
Check Lights & Hardware: Wipe light covers, replace bulbs as needed, and tighten loose screws to keep the hood secure and well‑lit.
-
Fan After Cooking: Let the fan run 5–10 minutes after cooking to help clear lingering smoke, steam, and odors, reducing long‑term grease accumulation.
