Maintenance Tips

• Wipe Exterior Weekly: Clean the stainless‑steel canopy with a soft cloth and mild detergent or warm, soapy water to remove grease, stains, and fingerprints; always wipe with the grain and avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool to protect the finish.

• Clean Internal Surfaces Regularly: Thanks to the patented filterless design, grease is collected in easily accessible areas — wipe interior surfaces and blower housing frequently to prevent buildup and maintain strong airflow.

• Inspect Duct & Vent Paths: If ducted, ensure vent and ductwork are free of obstructions so the blower (M600 or M1200 options) performs at peak efficiency.

• Check & Replace Lights: Replace any burnt‑out bulbs and wipe light covers to keep cooking work areas well illuminated.

• Run Fan After Cooking: Let the fan continue running for a few minutes after use to clear residual smoke, steam, and odors.
