Maintenance Tips
-
Wipe Exterior Weekly: Clean stainless steel with a soft cloth and mild detergent; wipe with the grain and avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool to protect the finish.

Clean Internal Grease Areas: Because this model includes a Power Lung K Series blower with a filterless design, regularly wipe the internal grease collection surfaces to prevent buildup and maintain airflow efficiency.
-
Interior Surface Care: With the power off, wipe interior areas after heavy cooking using warm, soapy water or non‑abrasive degreaser to reduce accumulated grease.
-
Inspect Lights & Hardware: Replace burnt‑out bulbs and tighten any loose screws to ensure safe and effective operation.
-
Run Fan After Cooking: Let the fan run a few minutes after cooking to clear lingering odors and smoke.
