If necessary to scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, 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. Every three 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 the 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 the 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.
Brass Parts
Caution: All brass special ordered parts are coated with an epoxy coating. Do not use brass cleaners or abrasive cleansers on the brass option parts. All brass body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water. When hot soapy water will not do the job, use every day household cleaners that are not abrasive.
