HOOD CLEANING

Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean.
Occasional care will help preserve its fine appearance.
Cleaning tips:

Warm water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.
Follow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to avoid water marks.
For discolorations or deposits that persist, use a non-scratching household cleaner or stainless steel polishing powder with a little water and a soft cloth.
For stubborn cases use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together with cleanser and water. Rub lightly in direction of polishing lines or “grain” of the stainless finish. Avoid using too much pressure that may mar the surface.
Do not allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.
Do not use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may scratch the surface and cause rust.
Do not allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these compounds contain chemicals that may be harmful. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent only.
