Interior Surface Care: With power off, wipe interior surfaces after heavy cooking using warm, soapy water or a gentle non‑abrasive cleaner to reduce grease residue.
-
Check Lights & Hardware: Replace any burned‑out bulbs and tighten loose screws to ensure safe operation and good visibility.
-
Fan After Cooking: Run the fan for a few minutes after cooking to clear lingering smoke and odors.
