Maintenance Tips
-
Clean metal baffle/slot grease filters regularly: Remove the filters, wash in hot soapy water or dishwasher, and dry completely before reinstalling.
-
Use the hood before and after cooking: Turn the blower on before heavy cooking and let it run a few minutes afterward to clear smoke and odors.
-
Wipe exterior stainless steel surfaces carefully: Use a soft cloth with mild detergent; avoid spraying cleaners directly on controls or using abrasive products.
-
Replace charcoal/carbon filters if in recirculation mode: Replace non‑washable filters every 4–6 months, depending on usage, to maintain odor removal.
-
Ensure proper ventilation and ducting installation: Keep the exhaust path clear and correctly installed for optimal performance.
-
Power off before maintenance: Disconnect the power before removing filters or cleaning inside the hood to prevent electric shock or damage
