How to clean the chimney in easy steps

  • Prepare your cleaning solution: Mix hot water with a mild detergent or vinegar. This solution helps in breaking down grease and grime effectively. Ensure you have a large enough container to soak the filters completely.
  • Soak the filters: Submerge the chimney filters in the cleaning solution for about 15-20 minutes. This will loosen the accumulated grease and dirt, making it easier to scrub off. Stir the solution occasionally to help dislodge the grime.
  • Scrub and rinse: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the filters, focusing on areas with heavy buildup. Rinse them thoroughly with clean water to remove all traces of detergent. Allow the filters to dry completely before reinstalling.
  • Clean the exterior: Wipe the exterior of the chimney with a damp cloth and a mild cleaner to remove any surface grime. Pay special attention to buttons and controls, which can accumulate dirt over time. This step ensures that your chimney looks as good as it functions.
  • Reassemble the filters: Once the filters are completely dry, reassemble them into the chimney. Make sure they are securely fitted to avoid any operational issues. Proper reassembly ensures optimal performance and safety.
  • Check for blockages: Ensure that there are no blockages in the ducts or vents that could impede airflow. This step is crucial for maintaining the efficiency of your chimney. Regularly checking for blockages can prevent potential issues and prolong the life of your appliance.

For a hassle-free cleaning experience, consider using an auto clean chimney. These models come with advanced features that make maintenance easier and more efficient, reducing the need for frequent manual cleaning.

Why is it necessary to clean the kitchen chimney in a timely manner?

Regular cleaning of your kitchen chimney is essential for several reasons. Firstly, it ensures that the chimney operates efficiently by removing any blockages caused by grease and grime buildup. This not only improves the suction power but also reduces the risk of fire hazards. Secondly, a clean chimney helps in maintaining good indoor air quality by effectively removing smoke, odours, and harmful particles from your kitchen. Moreover, timely cleaning extends the lifespan of your chimney, making it a cost-effective investment.
