Maintenance Tips
- Clean stainless steel microhole filters monthly – Dishwasher-safe filters trap grease efficiently; regular cleaning preserves strong 600 CFM suction and stable airflow.
- Wash filters properly – Use warm water and mild detergent; ensure full drying before reinstalling to avoid odor or reduced performance.
- Wipe stainless steel exterior weekly – Use a microfiber cloth and non-abrasive cleaner; always wipe in the grain direction to protect the finish.
- Clean LED lights regularly – Keep lenses grease-free to maintain bright, even illumination and extend long LED lifespan (~20,000 hours).
- Check filter alarm & clean indicator – Do not ignore alerts; they signal reduced capture efficiency or grease saturation.
- Inspect blower and duct path every 3–6 months – Ensure the 6" duct is clear for optimal extraction and low-noise operation.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives – Prevent damage to stainless steel finish and internal coatings.
- Ensure proper installation clearance – Maintain correct height above cooktop for safe airflow and best performance.
