Maintenance Tips
-
Wipe Exterior Weekly: Clean the stainless‑steel surface with a soft cloth and mild detergent/soapy water to remove fingerprints and grease; avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool to protect finish.
-
Clean Internal Grease Collection: Because of the Magic Lung® filterless design, regularly wipe out the internal grease‑collection areas and blower housing with warm, soapy water — the E‑Z Clean system (if equipped) can be removed and washed in the dishwasher or by hand for easier cleaning.
-
Inspect Ductwork & Vent Paths: Ensure ducts and vent openings are free of obstructions so the 600 CFM blower performs efficiently — check periodically, especially after heavy use.
-
Check Lights & Hardware: Wipe light covers and replace bulbs as needed; tighten any loose screws to maintain secure installation and good illumination.
-
Run Fan After Cooking: Let the fan run 5–10 minutes after cooking to clear lingering smoke, steam, and odors and help reduce residue buildup. (General best practice)
