How do you get the inside area of the vent clean from the grease and oils where the filter is?? I have a rectangular box style downdraft that the vent goes into the floor, I pulled the filter, but the box is to slender to get an arm into to scrub the grease....... does the bottom come off, or is it a sealed unit? How do you get all the brease from the bottom if you cannot reach it?
Hello.
Down drafts are one of the biggest pains in the neck to work on, because one has to get underneath the cook top, and remove the duct, then the blower motor, and then the cover that is over the part that goes up and down. That is if the contractor who put it in didn't build shelves around it or put a bunch of drawers in front of it. So there you have it. It is not easy to clean it. You have to be prepared to disassemble it and try and put it back together properly. One time a customer paid me to have me completely dissassemble the inside of her refrigerator because some bad fish had leaked into everything and she wanted to clean it. You could always do that.
