Maintenance Tips
-
Clean the Grease Filters: Remove and clean the grease filters every 1-2 months, or more often if you cook frequently. Wash them with warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher if safe.
-
Wipe Down the Exterior: Clean the exterior of the hood with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent to remove grease, dust, and food residue. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the stainless steel finish.
-
Check and Replace Charcoal Filters: If your hood uses charcoal filters for recirculation, replace them every 6-12 months, or as needed to maintain proper odor removal.
-
Inspect the Ductwork: If the hood vents to the outside, inspect the ductwork for blockages, grease buildup, or obstructions. Clean the ducts periodically to ensure smooth airflow.
-
Clean the Fan Blades: Wipe the fan blades to remove any grease or debris buildup. This helps maintain efficient operation and prevents unwanted odors.
-
Test Airflow: Ensure the airflow is working properly by testing the hood. If the ventilation seems weak, check the filters, fan blades, and ductwork for any issues.
-
Keep the Vent Cover Clean: Regularly clean the vent cover to prevent dust and grease buildup, which can obstruct airflow.
-
Annual Inspection: Schedule a professional inspection of the system once a year to ensure the motor, fan, and ductwork are functioning properly.
