Maintenance Tips

• Clean Baffle Filters Every 1–2 Months
  Dishwasher-safe stainless steel filters trap grease efficiently—regular cleaning maintains 600–1200 CFM airflow.

• Wipe Stainless Steel Liner & Exterior
  Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth and cleaner with the grain to preserve the finish and prevent streaks.

• Inspect & Clean Blower/Fan
  Grease buildup on fan blades reduces suction and increases noise; clean periodically for smooth operation.

• Check Ductwork for Blockages (Ducted Mode)
  Clear and properly seal ducts to ensure optimal airflow and prevent fire hazards.

• Maintain Control Panel & Lighting
  Keep buttons grease-free and replace halogen or LED bulbs as needed for consistent performance.

• Test Airflow Regularly
  Weak suction or unusual sounds indicate maintenance is needed—address early to protect the motor.
