Maintenance Tips

• Exterior Cleaning Weekly – Wipe the stainless‑steel hood with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth; avoid steel wool or harsh abrasives to protect the finish.

• Grease Tray & Interior Wipe‑Down – Periodically wipe the interior surfaces and any grease collection tray with a mild degreaser or dish soap to remove cooking oil buildup that can reduce performance.

• Blower Care – This model includes a Power Lung K Series blower system that captures grease without traditional filters; clean the blower housing and removable shields occasionally to maintain strong airflow and quieter operation.

• Light Maintenance – Turn off power and let bulbs cool before replacing; clean light covers to keep the cooktop area well illuminated.

• Annual Fan & Duct Inspection – Inspect the blower area, ductwork, and vents at least once a year for grease or obstructions; clear debris to preserve performance and reduce fire risk.

• Post‑Cooking Ventilation – After heavy cooking, run the hood a few extra minutes to clear lingering steam, smoke, and airborne grease before wiping down.

• Professional Service When Needed – If airflow decreases significantly or unusual noises occur, have a qualified technician inspect the blower and electrical components.
