Maintenance Tips
-
Weekly Exterior Clean – Wipe the stainless‑steel surface with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, and harsh chemicals to protect the finish.
-
Interior Grease Removal – Periodically clean the interior canopy and grease collection areas with a mild degreaser or dish soap to remove cooking oil buildup and keep airflow efficient.
-
Blower Housing Care – Check and wipe down the blower housing and fan area (with power off) occasionally to prevent buildup that can reduce performance; the filterless blower design collects grease internally for easier cleaning.
-
Light Maintenance – Turn off the power and allow bulbs to cool before replacing; wipe light covers to maintain good illumination over the cooking surface.
-
Annual Duct & Fan Inspection – Inspect ductwork and blower area at least once a year for grease or obstructions; clear debris to preserve strong airflow and reduce fire risk.
-
Post‑Cooking Ventilation – Run the hood about 5–10 minutes after cooking to help clear lingering steam, smoke, and airborne grease before cleaning.
-
Professional Service When Needed – If airflow weakens significantly or unusual noises occur, have a qualified technician inspect and service internal components.
