Maintenance Tips
-
Clean Grease Extractor Often: Empty and wash the centrifugal grease collector so buildup doesn’t reduce performance. The ARS system captures grease rather than just filtering it.
-
Replace ARS Filters Regularly: Swap out the HEPA and activated carbon filters on schedule to maintain odor and smoke capture.
-
Wipe Exterior Weekly: Use a soft cloth with mild detergent on stainless steel to remove grease and fingerprints; avoid harsh abrasives.
-
Clean Interior with Power OFF: Gently wipe interior surfaces around the blower to remove residue and keep airflow efficient.
-
Check Lights & Controls: Test halogen/LED lights and switches; replace bulbs per the manual as needed.
-
Annual Professional Check: Have a technician inspect the blower and ARS system for long‑term reliability.
