1. Disconnect the hood from the power supply.
2. Remove the grease filters by releasing their latches.
3. Wash the filters by hand in hot water with a mild detergent, or in a dishwasher on a low-temperature cycle.
4. Allow the filters to dry completely before reinserting them.

Cleaning the Exterior:

Clean the exterior surfaces of the hood with a soft cloth dampened with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, corrosive products, or alcohol-based solutions.

Charcoal Filters (if applicable for recirculation mode):

If your hood operates in recirculation mode, it will be equipped with activated charcoal filters. These filters cannot be washed and must be replaced every 3-6 months, depending on usage.
