Maintenance Tips
-
Wipe exterior weekly: Use a soft microfiber cloth with mild detergent and warm water on the stainless steel surface; dry completely to prevent streaks and water spots.
-
Clean internal air path regularly: Even though it’s filter‑free, grease and oil can collect inside the vent area — with power off, use a damp cloth and mild cleaner to wipe internal surfaces and fan edges.
-
Check grease/oil collection area: If the design includes an oil cup or drip pan, empty and clean it periodically to prevent buildup and odors.
-
Avoid harsh chemicals & abrasives: Do not use bleach, steel wool, or aggressive cleaners — these damage the finish and coatings.
-
Clean halogen light covers: Wipe light lenses with a soft cloth to keep illumination bright and clear.
-
Run during & after cooking: Operate the high‑velocity fans while cooking and for a few minutes afterward to clear smoke and grease particles from the air.
