Maintenance Tips
-
Clean grease filters regularly: Remove stainless‑steel baffle filters and wash every 8–10 weeks (or more frequently with heavy cooking) to maintain airflow and reduce grease buildup.
-
Wipe exterior surfaces carefully: Use a soft cloth with mild detergent; avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals to protect the stainless‑steel finish.
-
Ensure proper ducting: Keep ducts clear, properly sized, and with minimal bends to allow full performance of the 1200 CFM blower.
-
Use hood before and after cooking: Turn on the hood before high‑heat cooking and leave it running a few minutes afterward to clear residual vapors and maintain air quality.
-
Power off before maintenance: Disconnect or switch off the unit before cleaning filters or internal components to reduce the risk of electric shock.
