Maintenance Tips

• Clean Pro Baffle Filters Often: Remove and wash the dishwasher‑safe stainless steel baffle filters every 2 months (more frequently with heavy cooking) to maintain optimal grease capture and airflow.

• Wipe Stainless Surfaces: Use warm soapy water and a soft cloth to clean the stainless finish; avoid abrasive cleaners, bleach, chlorine‑based products, or steel wool to prevent scratching or corrosion.

• Interior Dust & Debris: Periodically wipe internal surfaces with a damp microfiber cloth to prevent buildup that can reduce blower efficiency and collect odors.

• Vent & Duct Check: Ensure the 8″ vertical duct remains clear of obstructions for effective smoke and odor removal.

• LED Illumination Care: Gently wipe the 3000 K LED light covers to keep cooktop illumination clear without damaging fixtures.

• Use Delay Shutoff: After heavy cooking, run the built‑in delay shutoff to clear residual smoke and steam, which also reduces sticky residue on filters and interior surfaces.
