Cleaning and maintaining
stainless steel chimney hoods
ALWAYS WIPE IN THE DIRECTION OF THE BRUSHED TEXTURE ON THE
STAINLESS STEEL
On stainless steel models, some components have a coloured protective film which
protects against accidental scratching. This film should be removed before
operating the hood.
Stainless steel is not adversely affected by normal household use but because of it’s
reputation for durability, it is sometimes assumed to be indestructible, and therefore
subjected to misuse or even abuse. Care should be taken to avoid such ‘abnormal use’.

Cleaning procedure
Frequent cleaning is recommended rather than an occasional aggressive clean.
Routine cleaning will preserve the corrosion resistance and the appearance of the
stainless steel for many years.
Clean the stainless steel as often as necessary ( i.e. when noticeably dull or dirty ) and
use the simplest cleaning method that will effectively do the job.
Use clean water, or a mild detergent solution applied with a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse
well and wipe dry.
