Maintenance Tips

• Clean Exterior Weekly: Wipe stainless steel surfaces with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth; rinse and dry thoroughly to prevent streaks and water spots. Use stainless‑steel cleaner for enhanced finish care.

• Grease & Interior Care: Regularly clean grease trays, baffle filters (if included), and interior surfaces to prevent buildup that can reduce airflow; avoid using water on motors or electrical parts.

• Disconnect Power First: Always turn off and unplug the hood before cleaning, deep maintenance, or replacing lights to avoid electrical hazards.

• Light Replacement Safety: Let lighting cool before replacing bulbs; follow manufacturer guidelines for proper type and installation.

• Ductwork Inspection: Periodically check ductwork for debris or blockages and clear obstructions to maintain optimal suction performance.

• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use harsh chemical cleaners, steel wool, or abrasive pads on any surfaces, as these can damage finishes and stainless steel.
