Heavy Indian cooking creates sticky grease deposits. Here is a step-by-step DIY guide and when to opt for motor deep servicing.
Indian cooking with fragrant spices, tadka, and deep frying generates heavy airborne grease that coats chimney filters, blower motors, and interior exhaust ducts.
Best Practices for Chimney Longevity:
- Baffle Filter Cleaning: Soak baffle filters in warm water with caustic soda or baking soda + dish soap every 2-3 weeks.
- Auto-Clean Oil Collector: Empty and wash the oil collector cup before it overflows.
- Annual Motor & Duct Deep Servicing: Have a technician inspect motor bearing lubrication, carbon filters, and clean the flexible duct pipe to prevent fire hazards and motor overheating.
