Maintenance Tips
-
Clean grease filters frequently: Remove the dishwasher‑safe anodized aluminum mesh filters, wash, and dry completely before reinstalling.
-
Wipe exterior surfaces gently: Use a soft cloth with mild detergent; avoid steel wool, abrasive pads, or harsh cleaners that can scratch the stainless steel.
-
Use the hood before and after cooking: Turn the blower on before high‑heat cooking and let it run a few minutes afterward to clear smoke and odors.
-
Ensure proper ducting and clearance: Keep vent paths clear; use rigid metal ducts with minimal bends for optimal airflow.
-
Power off before servicing: Disconnect the power before removing filters or cleaning inside to prevent electric shock or fire risk.
