Maintenance Tips

• Regular Surface Cleaning: Wipe the stainless steel interior and exterior with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth, following the grain to remove grease and fingerprints; avoid corrosive/abrasive detergents, oven cleaners, chlorine bleach, chloride products, steel wool, or abrasive pads that can scratch or damage the finish. After cleaning, you can use a non-abrasive stainless polish to buff the surface.

• Filter Cleaning: Remove the hybrid baffle filters periodically and clean by hand or in the dishwasher using a non-phosphate detergent; spray with degreasing solution and soak if heavily soiled. Dry filters completely before reinstalling.

• Check Blower & Controls: Ensure the blower area and electronic controls remain free of excessive grease or dust — clearing buildup helps maintain strong airflow and reliable performance.

• Inspect Ducting & Recirculation: For ducted installs, confirm duct runs are unobstructed and sealed; if using the recirculating option, replace charcoal filters per usage to keep air quality optimal.

• LED Lighting Care: Wipe LED light covers gently with a damp cloth; replace bulbs as needed to keep illumination effective.
