Care Instructions / Warranty
CARE OF YOUR ANTIQUE COPPER OR ANTIQUE BRONZE RANGE HOOD
Pure copper or brass is used in the fabrication of your "Antiqued" ABBAKA Range hood. The
optional utensil rail and "S" hooks are likewise made of pure brass. These exotic metals are then chemi-
cally aged to create a classic distressed look. A matte lacquer top coat is then applied to the antiqued
metal's surface to "freeze the aging process".
1. DO NOT USE harsh alkali (i.e., oven cleaners) or acid base detergents (i.e., acid grout cleaner for
tile), abrasive polishes, scouring powders or cleaning products containing ammonia, degreasers,
strong chemicals or window cleaner products.
2. Use a non-fragranced, mild soap with a neutral pH, like Ivory Liquid detergent, in a 10 to 1 dilution
with warm water. Use only soft cotton cloth (old baby diapers softened by many washings are excel-
lent). Soak the cloth in the diluted detergent and wipe in a straight blotting motion. DO NOT USE A
CIRCULAR MOTION. DO NOT USE PAPER TOWELS as this wood-based product can scratch and
damage the finish.
3. Dry the hood, again, using soft cotton cloth
MAINTENANCE OF ENAMELED AND STAINLESS STEEL RANGE HOODS
Hoods may be cleaned with any commercially available liquid cleaner. Avoid using cleansers with abra-
sives, as they may scratch the enamel or stainless steel. Brass utensil rails, if included, may be cleaned
with a copper or brass polish (see previous page). Polished stainless steel rails may be cleaned with a
soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water solution, then buffed with a dry clean cloth to restore its
luster.
NOTE: Always clean and polish with the "grain" of the hood. The "grain" is the series of fine lines in the
surface of natural polished metal hoods. It is usually horizontal. Do not clean in a circular motion.
