Maintenance Tips
-
Remove and clean baffle grease filters frequently: The stainless‑steel baffle filters are designed for high airflow cooking and are dishwasher‑safe; cleaning them regularly helps trap grease effectively and keeps performance high.
-
Wipe exterior stainless‑steel surfaces gently: Use a soft cloth with a mild detergent; avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that could scratch or dull the finish.
-
Use hood before and after cooking: Turn the blower on before high‑heat or high‑smoke cooking, and leave it running a few minutes afterward to clear residual heat, odor, and vapours.
-
Ensure proper ducting and airflow: The unit requires ducted installation (10″ round for this capacity). Make sure the duct is clear, minimal bends, and back‑draft damper functions correctly, for optimal extraction.
-
Power off before servicing: Disconnect power when removing filters or cleaning internal components to avoid electric shock or damage.
-
Inspect performance periodically: If you notice reduced airflow, increased noise, or smells, check filters, ductwork, and blower for blockages or wear.
