Maintenance Tips

• Wipe Exterior Weekly: Clean the stainless‑steel surface with a soft cloth and mild detergent or warm, soapy water to remove grease, fingerprints, and splatter; always wipe with the grain and avoid abrasive pads/harsh cleaners to protect the finish.

• Clean Magic Lung Grease Areas: This model includes Vent‑A‑Hood’s Magic Lung® blower system that captures grease inside the blower housing — regularly wipe internal grease‑collection surfaces and remove/clean any E‑Z Clean trays with warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher to maintain airflow performance.

• Inspect Ductwork & Vent Paths: Periodically check that ducts and vent openings are clear of obstructions so the 300 CFM blower vents smoke and odors effectively outside.

• Check Lights & Hardware: Wipe light covers and replace bulbs as needed; tighten loose screws to keep lighting bright and the hood securely mounted.

• Run Fan After Cooking: Let the fan run 5–10 minutes after cooking to help clear lingering smoke and odors and reduce residue buildup.
