Maintenance Tips

• Clean aluminum grease filters every 2–4 weeks: Dishwasher-safe filters must be washed regularly to maintain strong 600 CFM airflow and prevent suction loss.
• Wipe stainless steel & glass weekly: Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner to prevent grease buildup and preserve the black + stainless finish.
• Inspect touch controls regularly: Keep glass touch panel clean and dry to ensure reliable operation and prevent false inputs.
• Maintain ducting (6" round outlet): Ensure exhaust path is fully clear to avoid backpressure, noise increase, and reduced airflow performance.
• Clean LED lighting area carefully: Maintains bright cooktop visibility and prevents grease film from reducing illumination.
• Run hood during cooking + 5–10 minutes after: Maximizes smoke, steam, and odor extraction efficiency.
• Avoid grease buildup in blower area: Reduces motor strain and preserves long-term quiet operation (Hush system).
• Check filters when maintenance indicator triggers: Clean immediately to maintain peak performance and airflow efficiency.
• Ensure proper installation clearance: Correct mounting height improves capture efficiency and reduces cooking fume escape.
• Schedule periodic deep cleaning: Keeps airflow stable, reduces noise, and extends motor lifespan in high-use kitchens.
