6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient performance of your range hood.

Cleaning the Grease Filters:

The aluminum grease filters should be cleaned regularly (approximately every 2-4 weeks, depending on usage) to prevent grease buildup and maintain suction efficiency.

1. Remove Filters: Carefully unlatch and remove the aluminum grease filters from the hood.
2. Clean: Wash the filters by hand in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher. For stubborn grease, a degreasing agent can be used.
3. Dry and Reinstall: Ensure filters are completely dry before reinserting them into the hood.

Replacing the Carbon Filter (Recirculation Mode Only):

If you are using the hood in recirculation mode, the carbon filter (CBCF009) needs to be replaced periodically (typically every 3-6 months, depending on usage) as it cannot be washed.

1. Remove Grease Filters: First, remove the aluminum grease filters to access the carbon filter.
2. Remove Old Carbon Filter: Detach the used carbon filter.
3. Install New Carbon Filter: Attach the new carbon filter, ensuring it is securely in place.
4. Reinstall Grease Filters: Place the aluminum grease filters back into position.

Cleaning the Hood Surface:

Clean the stainless steel surface of the hood regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that could scratch the finish.
