Maintenance Tips

• Clean Baffle Filters Monthly
  Dishwasher-safe stainless steel filters trap grease efficiently; routine cleaning preserves optimal variable CFM performance.

• Wipe Stainless Steel Exterior Weekly
  Use a microfiber cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner with the grain to maintain both indoor and outdoor-rated finishes.

• Inspect & Clean Blower/Fan
  Remove grease buildup from fan blades and motor housing to ensure quiet, smooth operation and extend motor life.

• Check Ductwork for Obstructions (Ducted Mode)
  Keep ducts clear and sealed to maximize airflow, reduce odors, and prevent fire hazards.

• Maintain Control Panel & Lighting
  Keep buttons grease-free and replace LED or halogen bulbs as needed for consistent performance.

• Monitor Airflow & Noise
  Reduced suction or unusual sounds signal maintenance needs—address promptly to protect blower efficiency.
