Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your chimney hood.

6.1. Cleaning the Stainless Steel Body

• Always disconnect the power supply before cleaning.
• Use a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent.

The mesh filters trap grease and should be cleaned regularly (e.g., monthly, depending on usage) to maintain suction efficiency.
