Maintenance Tips

• Exterior Cleaning Weekly – Wipe the stainless‑steel exterior with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water; avoid steel wool, abrasive pads, or harsh chemicals to protect the finish.

• Interior Grease Wipe‑Down – Regularly clean the interior canopy to remove cooking grease buildup that can reduce airflow and performance. Use a mild degreaser or dish soap.

• Magic Lung Blower Care – This model features a patented filter‑less Magic Lung blower system that captures grease without traditional filters; clean the blower housing and E‑Z Clean blower shields periodically for peak suction efficiency.

• Light Bulb Maintenance – Power off and let bulbs cool before replacing; clean light covers to maintain good illumination over the cooktop.

• Annual Duct & Fan Inspection – Inspect ductwork and the blower area at least once a year for grease or obstructions; clear debris to preserve performance and reduce fire risk.

• Post‑Cooking Ventilation – Run the hood for several extra minutes after heavy cooking to clear lingering steam, smoke, and grease particles before wiping down.

• Professional Service When Needed – If suction decreases or unusual noises occur, have a qualified technician inspect fans, motors, and electrical components.
