Hood Cleaning
Stainless steel cleaning:
How to maintain its “BRIGHT LOOK”
Do:
- Regularly wash surfaces with clean cloth or rag soaked
with warm water and mild soap or liquid dish detergent.
- Always clean in the direction of original polish lines.
- Always rinse well with clear water (2 or 3 times) after
cleaning. Wipe dry completely.
- You may also use a specialized household stainless steel
cleaner.
Do not:
- Use any steel or stainless steel wool or any other
scrapers to remove stubborn dirt.
- Use any harsh or abrasive cleaners.
- Allow dirt to accumulate.
- Let plaster dust or any other construction residues
reach the hood. During construction/renovation, cover
the hood to make sure no dust sticks to stainless steel
surface.
Avoid when choosing a detergent:
- Any cleaners that contains
bleach
will attack stainless
steel.
- Any products containing:
chloride
,
fl
uoride
,
iodide
,
bromide
will deteriorate surfaces rapidly.
- Any combustible products used for cleaning such
as
acetone
,
alcohol
,
ether
,
benzol
, etc., are highly
explosive and should not be used close to a range.
Enamel Finish:
Clean with warm water and mild detergent only. If
discoloration occurs, use a good enamel polish such as
automotive polish. (DO NOT use rough abrasive cleaner
or porcelain cleaner).
