MAINTENANCE
For

THE
AREA
THAT
HOUSES
THE

CLEANING
EXTERIOR
SURFACES
Clean

with
hot,
soapy
water
and
a
clean
cotton
cloth.
Do
not
use
corrosive
or
abrasive
detergent
or
steel
wool/scouring
pads,
which
will
scratch
and
damage
the
stainless
steel
surface.
For
heavier
soil,
use
liquid
degreasing
cleaner.
Use
a
stainless
steel
cleaner
to
clean
the
surface
of
the
hood.
Avoid
getting
cleaning
solution
onto

for
the
stainless
steel
cleaner.
CAUTION
Use
soft
towel
to
wipe
off
the
cleaning
solution,
gently
rubbing

spots.
Use
dry
soft
towel
to
dry
the

Always
scrub
