Maintenance Tips
-
Power off before any maintenance: Disconnect the hood from power before cleaning or servicing to prevent electric shock or fire risk.
-
Clean grease filters regularly: Remove stainless steel baffle filters and clean out accumulated grease; clogged filters reduce airflow dramatically.
-
Wipe external stainless‑steel surfaces gently: Use a soft cloth and mild detergent; avoid abrasive cleaners, steelf wool, or harsh pads that could scratch the finish.
-
Check ductwork and airflow path: Ensure the duct from the hood to outside is unobstructed, uses rigid metal ducting, and does not have excessive bends or blockage
-
Use fan before and after heavy cooking: Turn on the blower before high‑heat cooking and leave it running a few minutes afterward to clear smoke, moisture, and grease vapour.
-
Inspect for overheating or unusual noise: The Leone model incorporates features like the Heat Guard and Hush System—if you notice excessive noise, reduced suction, or heat issues, filters or ducting likely need cleaning.
