6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your KUTCHINA chimney.
Auto Clean Function:
- Activate the auto-clean function regularly, depending on your cooking frequency (e.g., once a week for moderate use).
- The auto-clean cycle heats the internal components, causing accumulated oil to melt and drip into the oil collector.
Cleaning the Oil Collector:
- The separate oil collector should be emptied and cleaned periodically.
- Carefully remove the oil collector, dispose of the collected oil, and wash the collector with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry before reinserting.
Exterior Cleaning:
- Wipe the exterior surfaces of the chimney with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
