Maintenance Tips
-
Clean the Filters Monthly: Remove and wash the baffle or mesh filters in warm, soapy water (or run through dishwasher) to preserve strong airflow.
-
Wipe Exterior Regularly: Use a soft microfiber cloth with a mild stainless-steel cleaner; always follow the grain to avoid scratches.
-
Inspect the Fan Housing: Every 3–6 months, open the hood and check for grease buildup inside the blower compartment; clean as needed to maintain quiet, efficient operation.
-
Check Vent Ducting: Ensure the ductwork behind the hood is free from grease, dust, or obstructions so the full 600 CFM capacity isn’t compromised.
-
Maintain Lighting: Wipe down light covers to remove grease, and replace bulbs promptly to keep optimal visibility.
-
Tighten Fasteners: Periodically check and tighten mounting screws or brackets to reduce vibration and noise.
