Maintenance Tips
-
Wash the Filters Monthly: Remove the stainless-steel baffle filters and soak or hand-wash them with warm, soapy water to maintain strong airflow.
-
Wipe Down the Stainless Steel Exterior: Use a soft microfiber cloth and gentle stainless-steel cleaner, wiping in the direction of the grain to avoid scratches.
-
Inspect and Clean the Blower Housing: Every 3–6 months, check for grease buildup inside the fan compartment to ensure smooth, quiet operation.
-
Keep the Ductwork Clear: Periodically inspect your vent ducting for clogs, grease, or pests to preserve the 600 CFM capacity and prevent backdrafts.
-
Maintain the Lighting: Wipe the light covers clean and replace halogen or LED bulbs as needed to keep your cooking surface well illuminated.
-
Tighten Mounting Hardware: Since this is a wall-mount hood, ensure all screws and brackets remain secure to prevent vibration or wobble.
