Maintenance Tips
-
Clean Exterior Weekly: Wipe the stainless steel surface with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive pads or corrosive cleaners to protect the finish.
-
Wash Grease Filters Often: Remove metal baffle/mesh filters regularly and soak them in hot detergent solution or put them in the dishwasher; always dry fully before reinstalling.
-
Interior Cleaning: With power off, wipe the hood interior with a non‑abrasive cloth and household degreaser to prevent grease buildup that can reduce airflow and increase fire risk.
-
Replace Charcoal Filters if Recirculating: If installed as a non‑vented unit, replace carbon/charcoal filters every ~6–12 months (depending on use) — these are not washable.
-
Check Lights & Hardware: Periodically replace bulbs and tighten loose screws to maintain safe, effective performance.
-
Run Fan After Cooking: Let the fan run 5–10 minutes after cooking to clear residual smoke and odors, helping keep internal surfaces cleaner.
