Maintenance Tips
-
Clean Grease Filters Regularly: Remove and wash metal grease filters every 1–2 months in hot, soapy water (or dishwasher if manual allows) to prevent grease buildup and maintain airflow. Dirty filters reduce efficiency and can become fire hazards.
-
Replace Charcoal Filters (Ductless Only): Charcoal/activated charcoal filters can’t be washed — replace every 6–12 months depending on cooking frequency to control odors.
-
Weekly Exterior Wipe‑Down: Use a soft cloth with mild detergent to wipe the stainless‑steel surface weekly to remove grease, fingerprints, and dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pads to preserve finish.
-
Interior & Fan Cleaning: Every 3–6 months, wipe interior surfaces and, if accessible, lightly clean fan blades to avoid grease buildup that can hinder performance.
-
Inspect Vent & Ductwork: Periodically check ducts and vent paths for clogs or grease accumulation; clear obstructions to ensure proper airflow and ventilation.
-
Safety First: Always disconnect power before cleaning and avoid spraying cleaners directly onto electrical parts.
