Maintenance Tips

• Clean grease filters regularly: Wash baffle or mesh filters every 2–4 weeks (more often for heavy cooking) to maintain strong ventilation performance.
• Wipe stainless steel surface: Use a microfiber cloth and non-abrasive cleaner to remove grease, fingerprints, and smoke residue.
• Inspect airflow system: Ensure ducts and vents remain clear for optimal suction and odor removal efficiency.
• Clean interior and fan area: Periodically remove light grease buildup to maintain consistent performance and reduce noise.
• Maintain canopy edges and underside: Wall-mounted units collect rising grease—wipe after frequent cooking sessions.
• Clean control panel and lighting: Gently wipe to preserve responsiveness and clear illumination.
• Always power off before cleaning: Turn off the unit before any maintenance work.
