CLEANING EXTERIOR SURFACES

♦♦ Regular care will help preserve the appearance of your range hood. ♦♦ Always wipe stainless steel surfaces with the grain to avoid scratches ♦♦ Clean periodically with hot soapy water and clean cotton cloth.

♦♦ For heavier soil, use a liquid degreaser such as 409™ or Fantastic™.

♦♦ If hood looks splotchy, use a stainless steel cleaner on the surface. Promptly and gently remove cleaner with a soft towel or wipe.

♦♦ After cleaning, you may use non-abrasive stainless steel polish (such as 3m™ or ZEP™) to buff out stainless luster. Always scrub lightly and with a clean cotton cloth.

DO NOT:

♦♦ Use corrosive or abrasive detergent (eg, Comet Power Scrub™ or EZ-Off™ oven cleaner).

♦♦ Use steel wool or scouring pads, which will scratch and damage the stain- less steel surface.

♦♦ Leak cleaning solution onto or into the control panel ♦♦ Allow deposits to accumulate or remain on the hood

♦♦ Allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to re- main in contact with the stainless steel for extended periods.
