Q&A

Maintenance Tips

• Clean aluminum mesh filters monthly – Dishwasher-safe 3-layer filters trap grease efficiently; regular cleaning maintains steady 400 CFM airflow and prevents buildup.
• Wipe stainless steel exterior weekly – Use a soft cloth and mild detergent; always wipe with the grain to avoid scratches and preserve finish.
• Clean touch control panel carefully – Keep glass controls free from grease to ensure smooth operation of blower speeds and lighting.
• Inspect and clear ducting periodically – Ensure the 6" vent and backdraft damper are unobstructed for proper exhaust performance.
• Maintain LED lighting – Clean lens covers regularly to prevent grease film and maintain bright, energy-efficient illumination (20,000+ hour lifespan).
• Check blower performance every few months – Ensure fan runs smoothly across all speeds and no debris is blocking airflow.
• Use CFM reduction feature correctly (if required) – Keep settings clean and functional for local code compliance without reducing efficiency.
