Why should the range hood be cleaned?

1, increase noise

After the range hood is used for a period of time, there will be a lot of oil stains on the impeller and flue, which will increase the parts of the impeller, increase the starting current of the motor, increase the load, increase the loss of the motor and increase the noise together.

2. Security risks

Over time, oil stains will be oxidized to form acidic substances, which will corrode and rust the range hood. However, if they accumulate in the range hood and flue, the temperature will reach the ignition point of oil within one day, which will also cause fire hazards.

3. Health damage

In addition, the oil pollution on the impeller flue increases the viscosity, makes the exhaust not smooth, increases the spread of kitchen fumes, and harms family health.

How to clean the range hood?

1. Surface cleaning of range hood

After cooking every time, keep the range hood running for 1 min, so that the residual oil smoke and unburned carbon monoxide can be pumped to the outside and the harm to health can be reduced. And when there is still residual heat in the range hood, wipe the surface of the range hood with a rag to remove oil stains and make the surface of the range hood clean and not greasy.

2. Clean the fan blades of the range hood.

Cover the table directly under the range hood with newspaper or waterproof cloth, spray detergent on the machine body and fan blades, turn on the range hood after a few minutes, use the centrifugal force of the fan to pump away the detergent and dissolved dirty oil, and then wipe it with a wet paper towel, so that the machine body and fan blades of the range hood can be cleaned once.

3. Clean the oil storage box of the range hood

Stick a layer of plastic wrap in the oil storage box of the range hood, and the plastic wrap should extend out of the oil storage box to completely cover the inner surface of the original box, so that the oil fume can be adsorbed on the plastic wrap. Occasionally, when the oil storage box is almost full, you can pull out the plastic wrap to replace it. This method can save the trouble of cleaning the oil box as long as the plastic wrap is pulled out regularly.

4. Clean the oil net of the range hood

The oil screen for protecting the fan blades can be slowly removed with a screwdriver, sprayed with cleaning agent and placed in a plastic bag for standing.
