6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your chimney.
6.1 Dry Heat Auto Clean Function
The Dry Heat Auto Clean function helps to melt and collect oil and grease particles from the internal components. It is recommended to run this cycle periodically, depending on your cooking frequency.
- Ensure the chimney is turned off and cool.
- Empty the oil collector tray before starting the auto-clean cycle.
- Press the Auto Clean button on the control panel. The chimney will initiate a heating cycle, followed by a fan cycle to collect the melted grease into the oil collector.
- Once the cycle is complete, carefully remove and clean the oil collector tray.
6.2 Baffle Filter Cleaning
The baffle filters should be cleaned regularly, typically once every 2-4 weeks, depending on usage.
- Disconnect power: Always switch off and unplug the chimney before cleaning.
- Remove filters: Locate the filter release latches and carefully pull down to remove the baffle filters.
- Clean filters: Wash the filters with warm water and a degreasing detergent. For stubborn grease, soak them in hot soapy water for a while. A soft brush can be used to scrub.
- Rinse and dry: Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow them to dry completely before re-installing.
- Re-install: Insert the dry filters back into their slots, ensuring they click into place securely.
6.3 Exterior Cleaning
- Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- For the curved glass, use a glass cleaner and a soft cloth to avoid streaks.
6.4 Oil Collector Cleaning
The oil collector tray should be emptied and cleaned after each auto-clean cycle or when it appears full.
- Carefully slide out the oil collector tray from its housing.
- Dispose of the collected oil responsibly.
- Wash the tray with warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly before re-inserting.
