Q&A

Maintenance Tips

• Clean baffle grease filters every 2–4 weeks (more often for heavy frying). Dishwasher-safe stainless filters help maintain strong 400 CFM airflow and prevent grease buildup.
• Wipe stainless steel exterior weekly using a soft microfiber cloth and mild stainless cleaner; always wipe in the direction of the grain to avoid streaks and dulling.
• Keep 23-inch deep canopy clean inside to prevent hidden grease buildup that can reduce suction performance over time.
• Run the hood during cooking + 5–10 minutes after to fully remove smoke, steam, and lingering odors for cleaner internal components.
• Use all 4 speed settings properly (low for simmering, high for frying) to reduce motor strain and noise while improving efficiency.
• Inspect ducting (top or rear vent) every few months to ensure no grease blockage or airflow restriction is affecting performance.
• Replace charcoal filters (if ductless mode is used) as recommended to maintain odor control efficiency.
• Keep push-button controls and lighting area dry and clean to ensure long-term reliability of electronic components.
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that can damage stainless finish or protective coating.
• Occasionally check blower area for grease buildup to maintain consistent suction power and reduce long-term wear.
