Maintenance Tips

Remove and clean the grease filters monthly — soak in warm soapy water, rinse well, and let dry before reinstalling.
-
Wipe the stainless‑steel exterior regularly with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, following the grain; avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbers that can scratch the finish.
-
Clean the interior and underside (near the fan and light fixtures) periodically to remove grease or cooking residue — ensure hood is switched off and cool before cleaning.
-
Gently wipe down LED light covers and control buttons when cool to avoid damage; avoid harsh chemicals near lights.
-
Check and clear the vent duct and external vent path occasionally to ensure there’s no buildup or blockage, for proper airflow and efficient ventilation.
