Maintenance Tips
-
Wipe Exterior Weekly: Clean the stainless‑steel surface with a soft cloth and mild detergent to remove grease and fingerprints; always wipe with the grain and avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals to protect the finish.
-
Clean Grease Collector Often: Empty and wipe the centrifugal grease extractor tray and internal surfaces regularly to prevent buildup and maintain proper airflow from the 250 CFM blower.
-
Check HEPA/Carbon Filters: If your ARS duct‑free system uses activated carbon or microfilters, clean or replace them as recommended to keep odor and smoke control effective.
-
Inspect Lights & Hardware: Wipe light covers and replace halogen bulbs when needed; tighten any loose screws to ensure secure installation.
-
Fan After Cooking: Run the fan a few minutes after cooking to clear lingering smoke and improve air quality.
