Maintenance Tips
-
Regular Grease Cleaning – Remove and wash any decorative mesh or grease filters in warm soapy water (or gentle dishwasher cycle) to prevent grease buildup and maintain efficient airflow.
-
Interior Wipe‑Down – Periodically wipe the interior surfaces with a soft cloth and non‑abrasive cleaner to remove accumulated oil and cooking residue.
-
Exterior Care – Clean the stainless‑steel exterior with mild detergent and a soft cloth; avoid steel wool or abrasive pads to protect the finish.
-
Blower & Fan Check – At least once a year, inspect the blower area and ductwork for debris or grease; clearing blockages preserves suction performance and reduces fire risk.
-
Post‑Cooking Venting – Run the hood for 5–10 minutes after cooking to clear remaining steam, smoke, and odors before wiping down.
-
Light Maintenance – Turn off power and let bulbs cool before replacing; clean light covers to maintain good illumination.
-
Professional Service – If airflow decreases or unusual noises occur, contact a qualified technician to inspect and service internal components.
