Maintenance Tips

• Clean Regularly: Wipe stainless-steel surfaces with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive microfiber cloth, following the grain to preserve finish and avoid scratches.
• Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents, oven cleaners, chlorine bleach products, or steel wool.
• Filter Care: Remove the hybrid baffle filters periodically and clean with warm water by hand or in the dishwasher using a non-phosphate detergent; re-install fully dry.
• Degrease Heavily Soiled Filters: Use a degreaser soak for stubborn grease, then rinse and dry before reuse.
• LED & Controls: Gently dust LED lights and mechanical slide controls with a soft cloth — avoid liquid entering electrical parts.
• Routine Inspection: Check for grease build-up and optimal airflow at least every 2–3 months (more frequently with heavy cooking).
