Maintenance Tips
-
Wipe Exterior Weekly – Clean the stainless‑steel surface with warm soapy water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool to protect finish.

Interior Grease Cleaning – Regularly remove grease from internal surfaces to prevent buildup that can reduce airflow and sanitize your kitchen.

Check Filterless System – This model uses a patented filterless design that’s easier to clean, but inspect and wipe collection areas often to maintain suction efficiency.

Fan & Blower Care – Annually inspect the blower area for grease and debris; cleaning here helps preserve motor life and airflow.
-
Ductwork Inspection – Confirm duct openings and transitions are clear of blockages at least once per year to ensure proper ventilation.
-
Post‑Cooking Ventilation – Run the hood a few minutes after cooking to clear residual steam and grease particles.
-
Light Bulb Check – Replace bulbs promptly with correct types; always power off and let cool first.
