4.1 Cleaning Exterior surfaces:

• Clean periodically with hot soapy water and clean cotton cloth.
Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergent (e.g. Comet Power Scruv®, EZ-Off® oven
cleaner), or steel wool/scoring pads, which will scratch and damage the stainless
steel surface.
For heavier soil use liquid degrease such as "Forumla 409®" or "Fantastic®" brand
cleaner.
• If hood looks splotchy (stainless steel hood), use a stainless steel cleaner to clean
the surface of the hood.
Avoid getting cleaning solution onto or into the control panel.
Follow directions of the stainless steel cleaner. CAUTION: Do not leave on too long
as this may cause damage to hood finish.
Use soft towel to wipe off the cleaning solution, gently rub off any stubborn spots. Use
dry soft towel to dry the hood.
• After cleaning, you may use non abrasive stainless steel polish such as 3M® or
ZEP®, to polish and buff out the stainless luster and grain.
Always scrub lightly, with clean cotton cloth, and with the grain.
• DO NOT allow deposits to accumulate or remain on the hood.
• DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to
the surface and cause rusting.
• 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, which may be harmful.
Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
