Q&A

Maintenance Tips

• Clean baffle grease filters every 1–2 months (more often with heavy cooking). Dishwasher-safe stainless filters keep the 600 CFM system performing efficiently and reduce grease buildup.
• Wipe stainless steel surfaces weekly using a soft microfiber cloth and mild stainless cleaner; always clean in the direction of the grain to prevent scratches.
• Run the hood during cooking + 5–10 minutes after to fully remove smoke, steam, and odors, reducing internal grease accumulation.
• Inspect ducting periodically (top or rear vent options) to ensure there are no grease blockages or airflow restrictions that reduce performance.
• Check LED lights regularly and replace if dim or non-functional to maintain proper cooktop visibility.
• Clean interior grease buildup occasionally around the blower housing to preserve strong suction and quiet operation.
• Keep control panel dry and clean (slide controls) to ensure smooth speed adjustment and long-term reliability.
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that can damage stainless steel finish or welded edges.
• Verify mounting stability periodically to ensure the hood remains level and securely fixed to the wall structure.
