Maintenance Tips

• Clean triple-layer aluminum mesh filters every 2–4 weeks: Dishwasher-safe filters trap grease efficiently and keep the 400 CFM airflow strong and consistent.
• Wipe stainless steel + glass surfaces weekly: Use a soft microfiber cloth with a non-abrasive cleaner to prevent fingerprints, grease buildup, and surface dulling.
• Maintain duct airflow regularly: Ensure the 6" round duct and backdraft damper stay clear for optimal suction and lower noise levels.
• Use CFM Reduction System correctly: Adjust settings when needed for local code compliance and to reduce wear on the blower motor.
• Inspect and clean LED light covers: Keeps illumination bright and efficient for better cooking visibility.
• Check grease buildup in blower area periodically: Prevents performance loss and maintains smooth 3–4 speed operation.
• Avoid harsh cleaners or abrasive pads: Protects stainless steel finish and glass touch panel from scratches and corrosion.
• Run hood after cooking (2–5 min): Clears residual smoke/steam and reduces long-term odor absorption in filters.
