supply. Ensure that the cooker hood is switched off at the wall socket and the plug removed.
•

best possible result is achieved without damage.
•

leaving alkaline or acid substances (lemon juice, vinegar etc.) on the surfaces.
•

soft cloth. A specialized stainless steel cleaning fluid may be used.
•
Ensure that wiping is done along with the grain of the stainless steel to prevent any unsightly crisscross
scratching patterns from appearing.

artwork on the control panel and will void manufactures warrantee.
