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.
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.
CAUTION
Do not use a porcelain cleaner or rough abrasive cleaner.
