• Wipe Down the Exterior: Clean the exterior of the downdraft vent with a soft, damp cloth to remove grease and cooking residue. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
• Inspect the Ductless System: Ensure that the charcoal filters (if applicable) are clean and replace them according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, typically every 6-12 months.
• Check for Airflow: Test the airflow to ensure proper ventilation. If airflow is reduced, it may indicate a need to clean or replace filters.
• Clear Obstructions: Periodically inspect the vent system for blockages or buildup that could hinder airflow. Remove any debris or obstacles that could obstruct ventilation.
• Inspect the Motor and Fan: Check the motor and fan for any unusual sounds or signs of wear. Clean the fan blades as needed to ensure they operate smoothly.
• Run Regular Tests: Periodically test the downdraft vent system to ensure it's working effectively and the system is pulling air properly.
• Annual Professional Maintenance: Have a professional inspect the vent kit annually to ensure it’s operating efficiently and safely.
