6.2 Heat Auto Clean Function
The heat auto-clean function uses heat to melt and collect grease into the oil collector tray.

- The liquefied oil will drain into the removable oil collection tray.
- It is recommended to run the auto-clean cycle regularly, depending on cooking frequency.
6.3 Cleaning the Oil Collector Tray
The oil collector tray must be emptied and cleaned regularly to prevent overflow and maintain hygiene.
- Ensure the chimney is turned OFF and cooled down before cleaning.
- Carefully remove the oil collector tray from its housing.
- Empty the collected oil and wash the tray with warm, soapy water.
- Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reinserting.
6.4 Exterior Cleaning
- Wipe the exterior surfaces of the chimney with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Ensure no water enters the electrical components.
