Hood Cleaning
Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Occasional care will
help preserve its fine appearance.
Cleaning tips:
O
Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.
O
Follow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to
avoid water marks.
O
For discolorations or deposits that persist, use a non-scratching household
cleanser or stainless steel polishing powder with a little water and a soft cloth.
O
For stubborn cases, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together with
cleanser and water. Rub lightly in direction of polishing lines or "grain" of the
stainless finish. Avoid using too much pressure which may mar the surface.
O
DO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.
O
DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere
to the surface causing rust.
O
DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to
remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these com-
pounds contain chemicals which may be harmful. Rinse with water after expo-
sure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent only.
