• Bright Integrated Lighting: Three built‑in lights illuminate your cooking surface for better visibility and control.

• Flexible & Durable: Compatible with standard 10″ ducting and recommended mounting height (~30″) above the cooktop optimizes airflow performance.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean Surfaces Regularly: Wipe both interior and exterior with a soft cloth and mild, non‑abrasive cleaner (warm, soapy water) to remove grease and protect stainless finishes — avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, and abrasive pads; rinse and dry after cleaning.

• Grease Filter/Baffle Care: Remove and clean any metal baffle or grease filters frequently (soak in warm, soapy water or dishwasher if allowed) to maintain airflow efficiency and reduce fire risk; dry completely before reinstalling.

• Blower & Fan Area: With power off, periodically check the blower housing and fan area for grease or dust buildup; clear debris to sustain strong ventilation and quieter operation.

• Ductwork Inspection: Ensure the duct run is smooth, unobstructed, and properly sealed — short, straight runs optimize extraction performance.

• Light & Hardware Check: Replace burnt‑out bulbs promptly and tighten mounting hardware to prevent vibration or noise during use.
