Maintenance Tips
-
Wipe Stainless Steel Exterior Weekly: Use a soft cloth with mild detergent or warm, soapy water to remove grease, fingerprints, and cooking residue. Always wipe with the grain and avoid abrasive pads or harsh cleaners to protect the finish.
-
Clean Grease & Filters Regularly: Remove and wash metal grease filters (if fitted) in hot, soapy water or dishwasher; dry thoroughly before reinstalling to maintain strong airflow and capture grease effectively.
-
Interior Surface Care (Blower Area): Wipe internal surfaces (with power off) to prevent grease buildup that can reduce efficiency. Grease buildup over time reduces extraction performance and can pose a fire risk.
-
Inspect Duct & Vent Paths: Periodically check that the ductwork and vent openings are clear of obstructions so the high‑capacity system vents smoke and odors effectively outside.
-
Check Lights & Hardware: Replace burnt‑out bulbs and tighten loose screws to keep lighting bright and components secure.
-
Run Fan After Cooking: Let the fan run 5–10 minutes after cooking to help clear lingering smoke, steam, and odors, reducing long‑term residue buildup.
