Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your chimney.
Dry Heat Auto-Clean Technology:
This chimney features Dry Heat Auto-Clean technology. Activate this function periodically (e.g., once a month, depending on usage) to clean the internal components. The heating element melts accumulated oil, which then drains into the oil collector.
Oil Collector:
The integrated oil collector gathers the oil and grease removed during the auto-clean process and regular operation. Empty and clean the oil collector regularly. To remove, gently slide it out from its housing, dispose of the collected oil, and wash it with mild detergent and water. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
Exterior Cleaning:
- Wipe the curved glass and stainless steel surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Ensure the chimney is switched off and cooled down before cleaning.
