Can I maintain my range hood myself, or do I need to call a professional?

Regular Maintenance You Can Do Yourself

Yes, you can definitely maintain your range hood yourself!
It’s highly recommended that you clean the filters at least once a week, as well as the outside of the range hood, to prevent grease buildup and ensure optimal performance.
These simple tasks do not require the help of a professional and will help extend the life of your appliance.

Mandatory annual maintenance by a professional

However, regulations require a thorough cleaning and degreasing of the range hood and its exhaust system (ductwork, fan, motor, etc.) at least once a year.
This service must be performed by a specialized company to ensure compliance with health and safety standards (particularly regarding fire hazards).

Why This Maintenance Is Essential

Proper, regular maintenance helps to:

• Maintain effective extraction of smoke and odors

• Prevent premature failure of the motor and filters

• Reduce the risk of fire caused by accumulated grease

• Preserve the durability and performance of the range hood
