如何清洁你的抽油烟机
If you've ever wondered how to clean a range hood, you've come to the right place. Oftentimes referred to as kitchen hoods or exhaust hoods, range hoods ventilate steam, smoke, and airborne grease, promoting cleaner household air while reducing the likelihood of fire from combustible gases and fumes, among other benefits. Needless to say, range hoods are essential to your kitchen.
同时，房主们往往会忽视他们的抽油烟机，让油脂、灰尘和污垢积累起来。幸运的是，我们FOTILE的团队在下面的文章中整合了你需要知道的关于抽油烟机清洁的一切。
当您将下面的策略、技巧和分步指导应用于您的FOTILE抽油烟机时，我们邀请您主动提出问题或查看我们的抽油烟机常见问题页面。
抽油烟机的日常清洁程序
Like any appliance, your range hood requires consistent cleaning to operate at peak performance. Although the following daily range hood cleaning procedures are ideal for slant vent range hoods, the same steps can be applied to a wide range of FOTILE models and designs.
1.清洁外罩
你的抽油烟机的外面有收集油脂的倾向，特别是在油炸或煎烤食物的时候。幸运的是，你可以用湿纸巾、布或厨房抹布擦拭外表面区域，以保持你的抽油烟机没有积垢。
Pro Tip
To avoid leaving fingerprints or smear marks on your range hood, we recommend using stainless steel cleaner and wiping down any surfaces in the direction of the hairline finish. This method is effective for most but not all range hoods. If you're purchasing a new range hood, we recommend selecting models that feature an oil-free coating. In turn, you can quickly and easily wipe down surfaces without the need for heavy pressure or meticulous scrubbing. Each range hood within our FOTILE collection includes an oil-free coating for seamless, time-saving cleaning.

2.拆下并清洁油盘
抽油烟机上的油盘是用来收集多余的油脂和油。随着时间的推移，液体会积聚并过度填充托盘，滴落到您的烤箱上。做完饭后，我们建议用两只手做水平滑动的动作来移除油盘。一旦取下，处理掉任何积聚的油或油脂。之后，将油盘放入一盆温水中，使用无腐蚀性的肥皂或洗涤剂。15至30分钟后，取出油盘，洗掉任何多余的残留物，并放在干燥架上。

Pro Tip
By adding aluminum foil to your oil tray, you can streamline the cleaning process. Simply line the bottom and edges of the tray with foil. Using scissors, cut away any excess foil hanging over the edges. The next time you clean your range hood, you can simply remove and replace the aluminum foil.
3.拆除和清洁过滤器
Each FOTILE range hood includes a state-of-the-art filter that resembles a grid. The best way to clean a range hood filter is to first remove the filter by placing your hands on each end and pulling downward. Next, use a non-caustic wipe or damp cloth to clean the filter. Be sure to wipe down the air inlet's exterior as well.
4.重新组装抽油烟机
Having cleaned the oil tray, filter, and range hood exterior, you're ready to reassemble your range hood. Make sure to thoroughly dry each component beforehand. Whether you're a home builder or homeowner, FOTILE offers a wide range of stunning, state-of-the-art range hoods. We invite you to explore our collection today.
Important steps
抽油烟机深度清洁程序
即使经过持续的日常清洁，所有抽油烟机最终都需要深度清洁。每台FOTILE抽油烟机都有一个方便业主的设计，以简化深度清洁的过程。虽然下面的步骤是针对我们的斜口抽油烟机的，但下面提供的提示和指导也可能适用于其他抽油烟机型号。
Pro Tip
At a minimum, we recommend deep cleaning your range hood semiannually. For families that cook frequently or use heavy oils, you may want to consider a more frequent deep cleaning schedule.
If you're already familiar with the first two steps of the daily range hood cleaning process, feel free to skip ahead to step 3.
1.清洁外罩
虽然你的抽油烟机内部收集了最多的污垢，但油脂和油也会粘附在你的抽油烟机的外部。油腻的蒸汽、煎炸食物的飞溅物以及蒸煮食物的冷凝水都会在抽油烟机上沉积，形成一层油腻的薄膜。幸运的是，保持它的清洁只是一个简单的问题，用多面喷剂和布、纸巾或厨房抹布擦拭表面。
Pro Tip
If your range hood is stainless steel, you can prevent fingerprints and smear marks by using a stainless steel cleaner and wiping with the finish's grain. You can also plan ahead when purchasing a new range hood by selecting one with an oil-free coating, such as the range hoods in FOTILE's collection. These coatings wipe clean easily with no need to scrub or apply pressure.
2.拆下并清洁油盘
Though range hood oil trays are designed to catch grease and oil, cleaning them regularly prevents them from becoming too full and overflowing onto your cooktop. To remove the oil tray from your range hood, grasp it with two hands and slowly slide it horizontally toward you, keeping it parallel to the floor.
Pour pooled oil and grease into an appropriate container for disposal and submerge tray in warm water. Add lye-free soap to the water, stir it in gently with your hand, and let the tray soak for 15 to 30 minutes to loosen any stuck-on grease or oil. Wash the tray with more warm water and lye-free soap to remove residue and allow it to air-dry.
Pro Tip
Line the bottom of your oil tray with aluminum foil to make it easier to clean. Press the foil into the tray, using enough to line the sides, as well. Trim excess foil away from the edges of the pan with scissors. Now the next time you need to clean your oil tray, simply remove, discard, and replace the aluminum foil.
3.拆除并清洁Captur-Shield板
要卸下Captur-Shield板，用两只手以一定角度向下拉动前缘。只要有足够的压力，板子就会松开。从那里，你可以把板子放在一个有非腐蚀性肥皂或洗涤剂的温水盆中。最后，用温和的海绵或刷子洗掉任何残留物。

4.拆除和清洁过滤器
The filters on FOTILE range hoods are held in place by two screws. We recommend unscrewing with one hand while holding the filter in place with the other. Once removed, place the filter in a basin of water with non-caustic soap or detergent. Afterwards, use a small, soft brush to get in-between the filter's grids and remove any excess residue.

5. Reassemble the Range Hood
Once you have cleaned and dried each range hood component, we recommend reassembling the ensemble by first re-screwing the filter. Next, press the Captur-Shield Plate back into place. Lastly, reinsert the oil tray. The entire deep cleaning process generally takes 30 minutes or less for FOTILE range hoods. Of note, alternative brands may take longer depending on their build and complexity.
Safety and Maintenance Considerations
At FOTILE, your safety is our top priority. Please read and adhere to the following tips and guidelines.
- 不要在抽油烟机的电气元件附近放置任何潮湿的物品，特别是电源开关。
- 不要使用硬的清洁材料，如钢丝绒或钢丝刷。相反，使用纸巾、海绵或厨房湿巾，以避免划伤。
- Avoid using caustic cleaning products. Doing so can weaken, discolor, or even break your range hood components altogether. Instead, use neutral soaps and detergents for cleaning.
- 为了使您的抽油烟机保持最佳外观和性能，我们建议在每次使用后擦拭外表面、进气口外部和过滤器。请确保事后安全地重新组装您的抽油烟机。
- 尽管日常和深度清洁可以保持您的抽油烟机顺利运行，但我们建议每2年要求一次FOTILE专业服务，对于经常做饭的家庭，则每年要求一次。
