Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your range hood.
Grease Filters:
The range hood is equipped with dishwasher-safe 5-layer aluminum mesh filters. These filters should be cleaned regularly (e.g., monthly, depending on usage) to prevent grease buildup, which can reduce suction efficiency and pose a fire hazard.
- Removal: Locate the filter latches, push them in, and gently pull the filters down and out.
- Cleaning: Wash filters in a dishwasher or by hand using hot water and a non-abrasive detergent. Ensure they are completely dry before reinstallation.
- Reinstallation: Insert the filters back into their slots and secure the latches.

Exterior Cleaning:
Clean the stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, which can scratch the surface.
Carbon Filters (for Ductless Mode):
If operating in ductless mode, the optional CACF003 carbon filters (not included) will need to be replaced periodically, typically every 3-6 months depending on usage. Refer to the carbon filter's instructions for replacement procedures.
