Maintenance Tips
-
Clean pro baffle filters monthly: Remove and wash baffle filters with warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher (gentle cycle); dry fully before reinstalling for peak grease capture.
-
Wipe stainless steel surfaces: Use a soft microfiber or cotton cloth with mild detergent; always clean with the grain to avoid streaks and scratches.
-
Avoid harsh abrasives: Do not use steel wool, abrasive pads, corrosive detergents, bleach, or chloride‑based products.
-
Dry thoroughly after cleaning: Prevent water spots and help maintain finish quality.
-
Clean electronic touch controls carefully: Wipe with a slightly damp lint‑free cloth; avoid excess moisture near controls.
-
Run hood during & after cooking: Use appropriate fan speed before and after heavy cooking to reduce smoke and odors.
-
Check installation & hardware: Periodically ensure the insert and any optional liner accessories are securely fitted.
