Maintenance Tips

• Clean aluminum grease filters every 2–4 weeks to maintain strong 600 CFM suction and prevent grease buildup.
• Wash regenerative filters (if installed) every 2–3 months and dry properly to preserve long-life performance.
• Wipe ceiling glass/stainless surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and mild detergent to avoid residue buildup.
• Keep perimeter aspiration slots clear for maximum capture efficiency across the cooktop area.
• Avoid blocking airflow paths to maintain consistent extraction performance at all speeds.
• Use remote control periodically to cycle all fan speeds and keep motor components active.
• Inspect LED lighting system and clean gently to maintain brightness and avoid heat/moisture damage.
• Check maintenance indicators (if enabled) and service filters promptly when alerted.
• Ensure ducting is unobstructed and properly sealed to prevent loss of suction power.
• Schedule professional servicing annually to clean internal blower and maintain long-term reliability and quiet operation.
