Maintenance Tips

-
Interior Canopy Wipe‑Down: Periodically clean the interior to remove grease residue that can reduce airflow and efficiency.

-
Fan & Blower Area: With power off, gently wipe around the fan/blower area occasionally to prevent grease buildup and sustain performance.
-
Duct & Vent Inspection: If vented outside, check ductwork and external vent caps seasonally for blockages to ensure efficient airflow.
-
Controls & Lights: Wipe control panels and light covers with a damp cloth, avoiding excess moisture near electrical components.
