Maintenance Tips
- Clean aluminum grease filters every 2–4 weeks: Dishwasher-safe filters should be washed regularly to maintain strong 600 CFM suction and airflow efficiency.
- Use long-life regenerable filter (if installed): Wash every 2–3 months with mild soap or dishwasher, then dry properly to maintain odor control and efficiency.
- Wipe stainless steel & glass surfaces weekly: Prevents grease buildup and preserves premium black stainless finish and modern island design.
- Maintain “Deep Silence” performance: Keep filters clean and ducting clear to avoid noise increase and airflow restriction.
- Check and clean LED lighting: Ensures bright, even cooktop visibility (strip LED system).
- Inspect ducting (if vented): Ensure 6″ exhaust path is unobstructed for maximum extraction and reduced motor strain.
- Avoid heavy grease accumulation on blower area: Improves motor lifespan and prevents suction drop over time.
- Run hood during cooking + 5–10 min after: Helps fully remove smoke, steam, and odors for cleaner kitchen air.
- Monitor maintenance alarm (if enabled): Clean filters promptly when indicator triggers for optimal performance.
- Schedule periodic deep cleaning: Maintains long-term 600 CFM performance, especially in heavy cooking environments.
