•Daily smoke and oil vapor accumulate on chimney filters, leading to a black, sticky layer and reduced suction power.
•Before cleaning, unplug the chimney, lay down newspaper, and wear gloves for safety and ease.
•For filters, soak in hot water with baking soda and lemon for 20-25 minutes, then scrub for easy grease removal.
•For stubborn dirt, use a vinegar, salt, and lukewarm water spray, letting it sit for 10-15 minutes before wiping.
•Regular cleaning (monthly for heavy use, bi-monthly for light use) extends chimney lifespan, reduces motor pressure, and lowers electricity consumption.
