Maintenance Tips

• Weekly Exterior Clean: Wipe the stainless‑steel surface with a soft cloth and mild detergent or stainless cleaner, following the grain to protect the finish and remove grease. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals.

• Grease Filter Care: Remove and clean metal grease filters regularly (wash in warm soapy water or dishwasher if allowed) to prevent clogging and maintain airflow.

• Charcoal Filter (Recirculating Only): If your installation is duct‑free, replace the charcoal/odor filter every 3–6 months (it’s not washable).

• Fan & Blower Care: With power off, gently wipe around the fan/blower area now and then to prevent grease buildup and sustain performance.

• Controls & Lights: Clean control panels and light covers with a damp cloth, avoiding excess moisture near electrical components.
