Maintenance Tips
-
Power off before cleaning: Always disconnect the hood from electricity before servicing or cleaning.
-
Clean grease filters regularly: Remove stainless steel semi‑baffle slot filters and wash them every few weeks (or more often with heavy cooking); dishwasher-safe if compatible, dry completely before reinstalling.
-
Wipe exterior surfaces gently: Use a soft cloth with mild detergent; avoid abrasive pads, steel wool, or harsh chemical cleaners to protect the stainless-steel finish.
-
Use hood before and after cooking: Turn on the blower before high-heat cooking and leave it running a few minutes afterward to clear smoke and odors.
-
Check ducting: Ensure ducts are unobstructed, properly sized, and correctly installed with minimal bends for optimal airflow.
-
Inspect periodically: Look for unusual noise, reduced airflow, or grease buildup around filters and fan housing, which may indicate the need for deeper cleaning or professional service.
