• Professional‑Grade Design & Build: Classic pro‑style canopy with dishwasher‑safe stainless steel baffle filters traps grease effectively and simplifies cleaning — a key advantage over standard mesh filters.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean pro baffle filters often: Remove and wash the stainless steel baffle filters in warm, soapy water or the dishwasher every 6–8 weeks (more often with heavy cooking) to maintain grease capture and high airflow.

• Wipe exterior weekly: Use a soft microfiber cloth with mild detergent and warm water; wipe with the grain of the stainless steel to preserve finish and prevent streaks.

• Avoid harsh cleaners & abrasives: Do not use bleach, corrosive chemicals, steel wool, or abrasive pads — these can damage stainless surfaces and polish.

• Dry completely: After cleaning filters or surfaces, dry thoroughly before reinstalling to prevent moisture spots and oxidation.

• Run hood during & after cooking: Operate at higher fan speeds while cooking and for a few minutes afterward to clear smoke, grease, and odors from ducts.

• Check lights & controls: Wipe LED/halogen light covers periodically and test controls; replace bulbs only with manufacturer‑approved types when needed.
