Hood Cleaning
Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Occasional care will help
preserve its fine appearance.
Cleaning tips:
1. Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.
2. Follow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth
to avoid water marks.
3. For discolorations or deposits that persist, use a non-scratching household
cleanser or stainless steel polishing powder with a little water and a soft cloth.
4. For stubborn cases, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together
with cleanser and water. Rub lightly in direction of polishing lines or “grain” of
the stainless finish. Avoid using too much pressure which may mar
the surface.
5. DO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.
6. DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may
adhere to the surface causing rust.
7. DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds
to remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these
compounds contain chemicals which may be harmful. Rinse with water after
exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent only.
