Maintenance Tips
-
Wipe Exterior Weekly: Clean the stainless‑steel surface with a soft cloth and mild detergent to remove grease and fingerprints; wipe with the grain and avoid abrasive pads/steel wool to preserve the finish.
-
Clean Grease Collector & Internal Surfaces: The Power Lung K Series blower with centrifugal grease collection traps grease in an internal tray — empty and wipe this tray and surrounding surfaces often with warm, soapy water to maintain airflow and prevent buildup.
-
Inspect Ductwork: If ducted to the outside, periodically check that the vent and duct paths are unobstructed so the 250 CFM blower performs efficiently.
-
Check Lights & Fasteners: Replace any burnt‑out bulbs and tighten loose screws to keep lighting bright and the hood secure.
-
Run Fan After Cooking: Let the fan run a few minutes after cooking to clear residual smoke, steam, and odors.
