    Maintenance Tips

    Expert advice to keep your kitchen hood venting running efficiently

    1Use Your Hood Every Time You Cook

    Turn on your range hood whenever cooking, even for quick meals. It takes just minutes for cooking pollutants to spread throughout your home.

    2Clean Grease Filters Monthly

    Remove and wash metal grease filters in hot soapy water or the dishwasher monthly. Clogged filters reduce airflow and create fire hazards.

    3Choose the Right Speed

    Use higher fan speeds for high-heat cooking like frying or searing. Lower speeds work fine for simmering and are quieter.

    4Let It Run After Cooking

    Keep the hood running for 10-15 minutes after cooking to clear residual smoke, moisture, and odors from the kitchen.
