Maintenance Tips
-
Clean Exterior Surfaces Weekly: Wipe stainless steel with a soft cloth and mild detergent to remove grease and fingerprints — always follow the grain to avoid scratches.
-
Keep Filters Clean: If your model uses removable filters, wash them regularly in warm, soapy water (or dishwasher-safe if applicable) to prevent grease buildup that reduces performance.
-
Wipe Interior Often: Wipe the hood’s interior with a damp cloth after heavy cooking to minimize grease deposits.
-
Check Lights & Hardware: Periodically replace bulbs and tighten loose screws to keep the unit operating safely and efficiently.
-
Inspect Ducts Annually: Ensure the ductwork and vent path are clear of obstructions for optimal airflow and smoke extraction.
-
Run Fan After Cooking: Let the fan run a few minutes after use to clear residual steam and odors, reducing long-term buildup.
