USE & CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Cleaning the Interior
Clean the interior of the hood using a soft cloth and warm soapy water or denatured alcohol as needed. Do not
clean the electrical parts or blower with liquids or solvents. Allow to dry thoroughly before restoring power.
Cleaning the Exterior
It is important to follow the direction of the metal grain with the cloth. Do not use chemical solvents, aggressive,
grainy or abrasive products or similar products that could damage the surface of the hood. Test in an
inconspicuous location if you are concerned about a particular cleaner. For various finishes, see details below.
Brushed or Polished Stainless Steel
Clean the exterior of brushed stainless-steel hoods using a soft cloth and quality stainless steel cleaner or
warm soapy water. Follow all label instructions. Do not polish across the grain or in circles.
Painted with Gloss Finish
Clean the exterior of hood painted with a gloss finish using a soft cloth and quality glass cleaner or warm
soapy water. Follow all label instructions.
Designer Metals (Brushed Brass, Brushed Copper, Antique Brass, Antique Copper, Pewter and Oil
Rubbed Bronze)
These Designer Metals are treated with a protective clear coat that will prevent them from aging or
discoloring over time. This clear coat will last the life of the hood unless removed by the homeowner.
Clean with a microfiber cloth using Endust, Pledge or similar cleaner. Harsh cleaners such as Brite Boy
will remove the clear coat and the metals will start to age.
Designer Metals (Polished Brass and Polished Copper)
These Designer Metals are not treated with a protective coating due to a “rainbow” effect it causes on the
metal. These finishes will patina over time without care and need occasional cleaning. Clean with a
microfiber cloth using Endust, Pledge or similar cleaner for regular cleaning. For tough blemishes Brite
Boy can be used with a microfiber cloth, but due to this product being slightly abrasive this should only be
used in select situations.
19
For cleaning the hood, it is recommended to use a soft cloth and a solution of warm soapy water. It is important
that the soap does not contain granules that could scratch the surface. Follow the direction of the metal grain with
the cloth. The cloth must have no buttons or fasteners that could scratch the surface. Do not use chemical
solvents, aggressive, grainy or abrasive products or similar products that could damage the surface of the hood.
Test in an inconspicuous location if you are concerned about a particular cleaner.
Turn off power at the service panel prior to cleaning the hood.
