Step 1: Power down and prepare 

Turn off electricity to your kitchen chimney and allow it to cool completely. Remove all detachable components including filters, grease trays, and any removable panels to access all surfaces that need cleaning.

Generously spray Cleevo Kitchen Cleaner on all interior and exterior surfaces of the chimney, including the hood, fan blades, and motor housing, ensuring complete coverage of grease buildup.

Step 3: Clean removable parts 

Soak filters and grease trays in warm water with Cleevo Kitchen Cleaner for 15 minutes, then scrub thoroughly to remove accumulated grease and food particles that impair ventilation efficiency.

Step 4: Target stubborn buildup

Focus on heavily soiled areas like fan blades, ductwork connections, and corners where grease typically accumulates, using a soft brush to work the cleaner into stubborn deposits.

Step 5: Rinse and reassemble

Wipe all surfaces with a damp cloth to remove cleaning residue, allow components to air dry completely, then reassemble your chimney before restoring power and testing operation.
