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.

good enamel polish, refrigerator polish, or automotive polish.
