Maintenance Tips

• Clean stainless steel daily: Wipe all surfaces with mild detergent and warm water to remove grease and food residue, maintaining NSF hygiene and corrosion resistance in high-heat environments.
• Keep flue opening clear: Regularly inspect and clean the 2-3/8” flue outlet so exhaust gases flow freely through the ventilation system without blockage.
• Degrease shelves frequently: DHS-60 includes two heavy-duty stainless shelves—clean after each shift to prevent grease buildup and reduce fire risk in busy cooklines.
• Check mounting stability: Ensure all brackets and fasteners remain tight; the unit is heavy-duty (~132 lbs) and must stay securely mounted behind the range.
• Prevent hidden grease buildup: Pay attention to the rear and underside areas where grease can accumulate and become a safety hazard over time.
• Maintain ventilation clearance: Do not block airflow around the riser so heat and combustion gases properly channel into the hood system.
• Use non-abrasive cleaners only: Avoid steel wool or harsh chemicals that can scratch or dull stainless steel finish.
• Routine safety inspection: Check for loose fittings, shelf stress, or corrosion during scheduled commercial kitchen maintenance to ensure long-term reliability.
