Clean the dishwasher‑safe aluminum mesh filters regularly (soak or run through dishwasher) to maintain strong grease and smoke capture.
-
Wipe interior and exterior surfaces with a mild, non‑abrasive cleaner to remove grease buildup.
-
Check duct and vent paths periodically for obstructions to sustain optimal 395 CFM airflow.
-
Inspect halogen lights and push‑button controls; replace bulbs and ensure buttons are responsive.
-
Tighten mounting hardware occasionally to prevent vibration or noise during operation.
-
Operate on appropriate speed for cooking level — higher speeds clear smoke faster and help balance air pressure.
-
Use Make‑Up Air ducting correctly per code and installation guidelines to ensure balanced ventilation.
