Maintenance Tips
-
Clean Grease Filters Regularly – Remove and wash the metal grease filters about every 30 hours of cooking (or monthly if used moderately). Use hot water with mild detergent or place them in the dishwasher (gentle cycle).
-
Wipe Exterior Weekly – Use warm soapy water and a soft cloth to wipe the stainless-steel hood exterior. Rinse and dry thoroughly to prevent water marks and grease buildup.
-
Avoid Harsh Cleaners – Do not use steel wool, abrasive scrubbers, or corrosive chemicals (e.g., bleaches or harsh acids) on the surface; these can scratch and damage the finish.
-
Interior Surface Care – Gently clean inside the hood (once cool and powered off) to remove grease residue. A mild degreasing solution helps keep airflow efficient.
-
Fan & Duct Check – At least once a year, inspect the fan blades and ductwork for grease buildup or blockages; unclean ducts reduce performance and increase fire risk.
-
Post-Cooking Run-off – Run the hood for 5-10 minutes after cooking to clear lingering steam and grease particles, reducing internal buildup.
-
Professional Service – If airflow drops or you notice unusual noises, consult a qualified technician; professionals can safely deep-clean internal parts and ducts.
