- Ensure that the power outlet is correctly installed and grounded.

- Cabinet Integration: Designed to be installed between wall cabinets or as a standalone unit.
Care
- Cleaning the Exterior: Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water to clean the black glass surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Filters: The grease filters are washable and removable. Clean them regularly, about once a month, to maintain extraction efficiency. Remove the filters and wash them in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely before re-installing.
- Replacing the Filters: If using the recirculation option, replace the charcoal filters as per the manufacturer's recommendations (typically every 3-6 months, depending on use).
