Care and Cleaning WARNING: Be sure the entire appliance (including the grease filters and light bulbs) has cooled and grease has solidified before attempting to clean any part of the appliance. To Clean Hood Surface • For general care, wipe the outside of the stainless steel with sudsy water or household cleaners such as Fantastik® or Formula 409® cleaners, rinse well and dry with a clean soft cloth to avoid water marks. • Wipe and dry stainless steel in the same direction as the grain. Avoid using too much pressure, which may mar the surface. • Do not use abrasive products such as steel wool. • To remove finger prints and give added shine, use a stainless steel cleaner such as Stainless Steel Magic®, Hadco® stainless steel polish, Sprayway® stainless steel polish and cleaner, or 3M stainless steel cleaner and polish. • Do not allow any cleaning compounds to remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods. NOTICE: The use of brand names is intended only to indicate a type of cleaner. This does not constitute an endorsement. The omission of any brand name cleaner does not imply its adequacy or inadequacy. Many products are regional in distribution and can be found in the local markets. It is imperative that all products be used in strict accordance with instructions on the package. To Remove Filters, Filter Spacers, and Grease Trays: • Turn the fan and lights off. Be sure filters are cool and grease has congealed before removal. • Remove in the following order: 1. Filters - start with center filters, push up, then pull out from the bottom.
