Maintenance Tips
-
Wipe Exterior Regularly – Clean the stainless‑steel liner with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water to remove grease and cooking films; avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the finish.
-
Interior Grease Care – Periodically wipe the interior surfaces and grease collection areas with a mild degreaser or dish soap to prevent buildup that can reduce airflow.
-
Magic Lung Blower Cleaning – This insert uses a filter‑less Magic Lung blower design; clean the blower housing and removable shields occasionally because they capture grease and affect performance.
-
LED/Light Care – Wipe down light covers and replace bulbs only when the power is off and bulbs are cool to maintain good illumination over the cooktop.
-
Annual Duct & Fan Check – Once a year, inspect ductwork and the blower area for obstructions or grease buildup; clearing debris preserves suction and reduces fire risk.
-
Post‑Cooking Ventilation – Run the insert a few extra minutes after heavy cooking to clear lingering steam, smoke, and grease particles before wiping down.
-
Professional Service as Needed – If suction weakens, airflow decreases, or unusual noises occur, have a qualified technician inspect and service internal components.
