Maintenance Tips
-
Clean pro‑baffle filters monthly: Remove and wash the dishwasher‑safe baffle filters with warm, soapy water or on a gentle dishwasher cycle; dry completely before reinstalling to maintain high airflow and grease capture.
-
Wipe stainless steel regularly: Use a soft microfiber cloth and mild detergent; always clean with the grain to prevent scratches and streaks.
-
Avoid harsh abrasives: Do not use steel wool, scouring pads, chloride‑based cleaners, bleach, or strong chemical cleaners that can damage or dull the stainless finish.
-
Dry thoroughly after cleaning: Wipe dry to prevent water spots and preserve the polished stainless finish.
-
Run fan before/after cooking: Using the hood on appropriate fan speed before and after cooking helps clear smoke, odors, and steam effectively.
-
Clean controls & LED gently: Wipe electronic touch/LED areas with a damp, lint‑free cloth; avoid excess moisture near electronics.
-
Check hardware & ducting periodically: Ensure mounting and duct connections stay secure for optimal performance.
