Cleaning and Maintenance
Renewing Enamel Finish
(Painted Models Only)
If discoloration occurs, you should thoroughly polish the fi nish 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 fi nish stays bright and unscratched. Use lemon oil or
stainless steel polish to coat and protect stainless steel.
Unplug power cords from control panel before cleaning
or servicing hood.
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Ventilation equipment
is no exception. Your hood must be kept clean and maintained properly.
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 fi nish.
If you need to scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, fi rst 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.
CAUTION
Do not use a porcelain cleaner or rough abrasive cleaner.
