Reduced suction indicates clogged filters or ducts—clean promptly to ensure powerful ventilation for heavy cooking. -
Wipe Stainless Steel Interior & Liner
Use a non-abrasive cleaner and wipe with the grain to preserve the durable 430 stainless steel finish. -
Inspect & Clean Dual/Single Blower
Remove grease buildup from fan blades to maintain efficient, quiet operation (~7 sones). -
Check Ductwork for Blockages (Ducted Only)
Ensure 6”–8” ducts are clear and properly sealed for maximum airflow and odor removal. -
Clean Control Panel & Buttons
Keep push-button controls grease-free for consistent performance and longevity. -
Maintain Halogen Lighting
Wipe and replace bulbs as needed to ensure proper cooktop visibility. -
Test Airflow & Noise Levels
Unusual noise or weak suction may indicate maintenance issues—address early to protect motor life.
