Maintenance Tips
-
Clean the Grease Filters Monthly: Remove the stainless-steel baffle or mesh filters, soak in warm soapy water (or run through the dishwasher), and dry fully before reinstalling.
-
Wipe Down the Exterior Weekly: Use a soft microfiber cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner; always wipe in the direction of the stainless‑steel grain.
-
Dry After Cleaning: Always buff the surface dry to prevent water spots and maintain the finish.
-
Clean Internal Housing & Drip Tray: Every few months, remove and wash the grease tray and wipe out the blower housing to prevent grease buildup.
-
Inspect and Maintain Ductwork: Periodically check ducting for blockages or grease deposits to ensure the full 600 CFM airflow.
-
Maintain Control Panel: Wipe the controls with a lightly damp cloth—not directly spraying cleaner—to prevent damage to buttons or sensors.
-
Replace Charcoal Filters (If Recirculating): If configured for recirculation, change the charcoal filters according to usage.
-
Run a Pre‑ and Post‑Cooking Flush: Turn on the hood a minute before cooking begins and leave it running a few minutes afterward to clear residual smoke and grease.
