Maintenance Tips

• Wipe interior after every use: Clean spills immediately to prevent grease buildup, especially around the ceiling and vents where splatter collects.
• Clean grease filters regularly: Remove and wash the hood filters every few weeks to maintain strong ventilation and reduce odors.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners: Use mild soap and soft cloths to protect the black finish, control panel, and interior coating.
• Maintain door seal & latch: Inspect and clean the door gasket area to ensure proper sealing for both microwave and convection performance.
• Check vent airflow: Keep the top and rear exhaust areas unobstructed so the over-the-range hood functions efficiently.
• Use convection mode properly: Allow proper preheating and avoid overcrowding to prevent uneven heating and excess residue buildup.
• Clean turntable & roller ring: Wash regularly to ensure smooth rotation and even cooking results.
• Wipe control panel gently: Use a damp microfiber cloth only—avoid excess moisture to protect electronic touch controls.
• Replace charcoal filter (if recirculating): Change every 6–12 months depending on cooking frequency to keep air fresh.
