Maintenance Tips
-
Wipe Surfaces Regularly: Clean interior and exterior stainless surfaces with a soft cloth and mild, non‑abrasive detergent to remove grease buildup and preserve finish — avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads.
-
Grease Trap / Filter Area Care: If equipped with grease traps/baffles, remove and clean them periodically with warm, soapy water; keep grease accumulation down to maintain airflow and reduce fire risk.
-
Blower & Fan Inspection: Check blower housing for grease and debris; clear buildup to help efficient ventilation and quieter operation.
-
Ductwork Check: Ensure duct runs are unobstructed and well sealed to maximize extraction efficiency. (General range hood best practice)
-
Lights & Hardware: Replace burnt‑out bulbs promptly and tighten mounting hardware to prevent vibration during use. (Standard maintenance recommendation)
