Vent-a-Hood & Downdrafts Maintenance Tips
Because their purpose includes removing grease and moisture from cooking, these systems quickly collect dirt and require regular cleaning. Always check the manufacturer's specific cleaning instructions if available.
The usual routine includes washing external surfaces often (even daily) with a solution of warm water, detergent, and ammonia. Rinse well with clear water. Don't use abrasive or scouring pads because they scratch surfaces.
Sponge cooled light bulbs with the solution, rinse, and thoroughly dry.
If the blades are accessible, wipe frequently with the washing solution. If they are inaccessible, schedule annual professional maintenance.
Remove metal mesh filters; soak in solution for a few minutes. Sponge off dirt as necessary, rinse, and air dry before replacing in the hood.
Charcoal filters are not cleanable; replace them once a year.
