  Reduced suction indicates clogged filters or ducts—clean promptly to ensure powerful ventilation for heavy cooking.

• Wipe Stainless Steel Interior & Liner
  Use a non-abrasive cleaner and wipe with the grain to preserve the durable 430 stainless steel finish.

• Inspect & Clean Dual/Single Blower
  Remove grease buildup from fan blades to maintain efficient, quiet operation (~7 sones).

• Check Ductwork for Blockages (Ducted Only)
  Ensure 6”–8” ducts are clear and properly sealed for maximum airflow and odor removal.

• Clean Control Panel & Buttons
  Keep push-button controls grease-free for consistent performance and longevity.

• Maintain Halogen Lighting
  Wipe and replace bulbs as needed to ensure proper cooktop visibility.

• Test Airflow & Noise Levels
  Unusual noise or weak suction may indicate maintenance issues—address early to protect motor life.
