Maintenance Tips
-
Weekly Exterior Cleaning – Wipe the stainless‑steel surface with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth; avoid steel wool and harsh, abrasive cleaners to protect the finish.
-
Interior Grease Removal – Periodically clean the interior canopy and grease collection areas with a mild degreaser or dish soap to remove cooking oil buildup that can reduce airflow and performance.
-
Blower Housing Care – This ducted wall‑mount model has a blower (typically ~300 CFM with a B100 single blower) that may collect grease; with power off, gently wipe accessible housing areas to maintain suction.
-
Light Bulb Maintenance – Power off the hood and let bulbs cool before replacing; wipe light covers to maintain good illumination over the cooktop.
-
Annual Fan & Duct Inspection – At least once a year, inspect the blower area and ductwork for grease, dust, or blockages; clear debris to preserve performance and reduce fire risk.
-
Post‑Cooking Ventilation – After heavy cooking, run the hood for a few extra minutes to help clear lingering steam and airborne grease before cleaning.
-
Professional Service as Needed – If airflow drops significantly or you hear unusual noises, have a qualified technician inspect and service the blower and internal components
