Cleaning and Maintenance
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 finish. If you need to scrape stainless steel to
remove encrusted materials, first 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.
Renewing Enamel Finish
If discoloration occurs, you should thoroughly polish the finish 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.
CAUTION
Do not use a porcelain cleaner or rough abrasive cleaner.
Renewing Stainless Steel Finish
Regular cleaning is the best way to assure that your stainless steel
finish stays bright and unscratched. Use lemon oil or stainless steel
polish to coat and protect stainless steel.
