6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your range hood.
Cleaning Baffle Filters:
The baffle filters should be cleaned regularly (e.g., monthly, depending on cooking frequency) to prevent grease buildup and maintain suction efficiency. They are reusable and can be washed by hand with hot soapy water or in a dishwasher.
- To remove: Locate the release latches on the filters and pull them down.
- Clean: Wash thoroughly or place in a dishwasher.
- Reinstall: Ensure filters are completely dry before reinserting them into the hood.

Replacing Charcoal Filters (Ductless Mode Only):
If operating in ductless (recirculating) mode, the charcoal filters (Model: CC110) absorb odors and should be replaced every 3-6 months, depending on usage. These filters are not washable.
- To replace: Remove the baffle filters first. Twist the old charcoal filters counter-clockwise to detach them.
- Install new filters: Align the new charcoal filters with the motor housing and twist clockwise to secure.
- Reinstall baffle filters.
