Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning Hood Canopy

Finishes in enamel or stainless steel are highly resistant to damage
or  discoloration  due  to  grease,  steam,  and  heat—provided  that
reasonable  care  is  given  to  the  equipment.  The  following
suggestions will help keep your hood looking new.

1. Do not allow an excessive accumulation of grease. For best results,

you  should  wipe  your  hood  clean  with  a  cloth  dipped  in  warm,
soapy  water. 

DO  NOT  USE  ABRASIVE  CLEANSERS,  STEEL

WOOL  PADS,  OR  ABRASIVE  CLOTHS. 

DO NOT use cleansers

that contain chlorides; the chlorides in the cleaner could damage
the  stainless  steel  finish.  If  you  need  to  scrape  stainless  steel  to
remove encrusted materials, first soak the area with hot towels to
loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper.

DO  NOT

use  a  metal  knife,  spatula,  or  any  other  metal  tool  to

scrape stainless steel.

2. Every  3  months  give  your  hood  a  thorough  cleaning.  On

painted surfaces, use a new coat of wax. A good wax cleaner—
available  at  either  a  grocery  or  hardware  store—will  do  both
jobs at once. On stainless steel surfaces, use a good stainless
steel cleaner and polish.

Renewing Enamel Finish

If discoloration occurs, you should thoroughly polish the finish on
your hood to renew its gloss and luster and to remove any grease
residue which may have a yellowing effect. Use any good enamel
polish, refrigerator polish, or automotive polish.

Renewing Stainless Steel Finish

Regular cleaning is the best way to assure that your stainless steel
finish stays bright and unscratched. Use lemon oil or stainless steel
polish to coat and protect stainless steel.

CAUTION

Do not use a porcelain cleaner or rough abrasive cleaner.

Replacing the Light Bulbs

in case the bulb breaks.
