Maintenance Tips
-
Clean Grease Filters Regularly: Remove and wash metal filters in hot, soapy water or dishwasher monthly (sooner with heavy cooking) to maintain airflow and reduce grease buildup. Let filters fully dry before reinstalling.
-
Wipe Exterior & Interior: Use a soft cloth with mild detergent and warm water to wipe the hood surfaces; avoid abrasive cleaners and steel wool which can scratch steel.
-
Power Off Before Cleaning: Always switch off power at the breaker before servicing, and avoid spraying water on electrical parts.
-
Inspect Ducts Periodically: Confirm ductwork is clear of blockages for optimal ventilation performance.
-
Replace Charcoal Filters if Recirculating: If using in duct‑free mode, change charcoal odor filters every 3–6 months (metal filters are cleaned but charcoal ones must be replaced).
-
Check Lights & Fasteners: Replace burnt‑out bulbs and tighten loose screws to keep the hood operating safely.
