6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your extractor hood.
Cleaning the Grease Filters:

- Refer to the filter's specific instructions for regeneration or replacement frequency.
- Always disconnect power before replacing filters.
Cleaning the Hood Surface:
- Clean the stainless steel (Inox) surfaces with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for stainless steel.
- Avoid using abrasive sponges, corrosive detergents, or harsh chemicals.
