Maintenance Tips
-
Exterior Cleaning Weekly – Wipe the stainless‑steel surfaces with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth; avoid steel wool, abrasive pads, or harsh chemicals to protect the finish and prevent scratches.
-
Interior Grease Wipe‑Down – Regularly clean the interior canopy to remove cooking oil and grease buildup that can reduce airflow and efficiency. Use a mild degreaser or dish soap while the power is off.
-
Grease Capture / Filter Care – If your unit includes grease filters or baffle filters, remove and wash them periodically in warm, soapy water or a dishwasher (follow manual instructions). Cleaning frequency depends on cooking habits.
-
Blower & Fan Inspection – Inspect and wipe down the blower housing and fan area occasionally to prevent grease accumulation that can affect performance; ensure power is off before accessing internal components.
-
Light Bulb Maintenance – Turn off power and let bulbs cool before replacing; clean light covers to ensure good illumination over the cooktop.
-
Post‑Cooking Ventilation – After heavy cooking, run the hood a few extra minutes to clear residual steam, smoke, and odors before cleaning.
-
Professional Service When Needed – If airflow weakens significantly, unusual noises occur, or the blower seems clogged with grease, have a qualified technician inspect and service the unit safely.
