Maintenance Tips
-
Routine Grease Cleaning: Wipe exterior/visible interior surfaces regularly with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Use stainless steel cleaner for finish care; avoid abrasive pads/steel wool to prevent scratches.
-
Filter & Grease Trap Care: If filters are present, remove and wash them periodically (frequency based on cooking usage). Dishwasher-safe metal filters should be dried fully before reinstalling to maintain airflow.
-
Check Vent Ducts: Periodically inspect ductwork for obstructions or grease buildup — clear airflow preserves suction performance and reduces blower strain.
-
Power Safe Cleaning: Always turn off the power before cleaning interior components and avoid water contact with motors/electrical parts.
-
Light Maintenance: If bulbs need replacement, power off and allow to cool first; follow manufacturer guidance for compatible replacements.
-
Surface Polish: Wipe with cloth in direction of grain to maintain stainless finish and reduce streaking.
