7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your range hood.
7.1 Cleaning the Aluminum Mesh Filters
The 5-layer aluminum mesh filters trap grease and should be cleaned regularly (ideally monthly, depending on cooking frequency) to maintain effective suction and prevent fire hazards.
- Removal: Locate the filter release latches and carefully pull down to remove the filters.
- Cleaning: Wash filters in hot, soapy water or place them in a dishwasher. Avoid harsh abrasives.
- Reinstallation: Ensure filters are completely dry before reinserting them into the hood.

7.2 Exterior Cleaning
Clean the stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Do not use corrosive detergents or abrasive pads.
7.3 LED Light Replacement
If an LED light needs replacement, ensure the power is disconnected. Carefully remove the old bulb and replace it with a compatible energy-saving LED bulb available at hardware stores. Refer to the original bulb specifications for wattage and type.
8. Troubleshooting
Refer to the following table for common issues and their solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Hood does not operate | No power supply; circuit breaker tripped; loose wiring. | Check power connection; reset circuit breaker; ensure all wiring is secure (consult electrician if unsure). |
| Poor suction performance | Clogged grease filters; improper ducting (ducted mode); charcoal filters saturated (ductless mode); external blockage. | Clean or replace grease filters; check ductwork for obstructions or leaks; replace charcoal filters (if applicable); ensure external vent cap is clear. |
| Excessive noise | Loose components; motor imbalance; ducting issues; filter rattling. | Check for loose screws or parts; ensure filters are properly seated; inspect ductwork for restrictions or improper installation; apply small adhesive rubber pads to filter flanges if rattling occurs. |
| Lights not working | Bulb failure; loose connection. | Replace LED bulbs; check light fixture connections. |
