Maintenance Tips
-
Clean grease filter regularly: Remove the aluminum mesh filter every 1–2 months and wash with warm soapy water to maintain strong airflow and reduce motor strain.
-
Wipe sliding visor often: Clean the pull-out panel to prevent grease buildup that can affect smooth sliding action.
-
Keep slide rails clean: Remove crumbs and grease from the telescopic track to ensure smooth extension and retraction.
-
Maintain auto-on mechanism: Ensure the pull-out action is not obstructed so the hood activates and shuts off correctly.
-
Clean stainless interior surface: Use a soft microfiber cloth with mild detergent and dry immediately to avoid streaks or corrosion.
-
Avoid harsh chemicals: Do not use ammonia, bleach, or abrasive pads that can damage stainless finish and moving parts.
-
Check duct path (5” vent): Ensure rear or top venting is clear for consistent 300 CFM performance.
-
Inspect LED lighting: Wipe light cover gently to maintain brightness and prevent grease film buildup.
-
Do periodic deep cleaning: Pay extra attention to hidden internal areas where grease accumulates due to compact design.
-
Ensure smooth cabinet alignment: Misalignment can cause drag on the slide-out mechanism over time
