the intense heat will burn off any splashes, but
the ceiling above it may need regular cleaning.
This should be done with warm water, deter-

ularly, it should be run for 10 minutes a month
to burn off any splashes.
Push the fastening

lower it to release
the grill element.
Return the fastening
thread to its original
