Maintenance Tips
-
Clean filters regularly: Remove the dishwasher-safe aluminum mesh filters and wash them at least every 1–2 months in warm, soapy water or in a dishwasher to prevent grease buildup and maintain airflow.
-
Wipe exterior weekly: Use a soft cloth with mild detergent or stainless-steel cleaner; wipe with the grain to avoid scratches and preserve shine on stainless steel and glass.
-
Avoid harsh chemicals: Do not use abrasive, corrosive, or bleach-based cleaners or steel wool as these can damage finish and controls.
-
Check lights & controls: Clean LED light covers and test electronic controls periodically—replace bulbs with manufacturer-approved LEDs if needed.
-
Inspect ductwork: For ducted setups, inspect and clean ducts every 6–12 months to ensure proper ventilation and prevent grease buildup.
-
Annual deeper clean: With power off, gently clean inside housing, around blower/fan, and behind filters to remove trapped grease and maintain peak performance.
