Choose the right care path for the mess.

This guide helps you understand the safest everyday method, what to use for tougher messes, and how to handle stainless steel finishes.

Everyday cleaning

Use a mixture of warm water and clear Dawn dish soap with a microfiber cloth to remove dust, fingerprints, and food residue.

Stainless steel

For your ventilation unit, you can use a traditional stainless steel cleaner. We recommend spraying the cleaner onto a cloth rather than directly onto the ventilation unit to prevent the cleaner from getting onto the hood.

Decision Guide

Before you clean, check these details.

1

Identify the finish type.

Use standard gentle care for most finishes, and follow the stainless steel note when that finish applies.

2

Start with the mildest method.

Warm, soapy water and a soft cloth should be the first step before any stronger products.

3

Dry the hood after cleaning.

Use a clean microfiber towel to help prevent water spots and maintain the finish.

Warranty reminder

Damage caused by excessive heat, ash exposure, improper cleaning products, or prolonged moisture is not covered under warranty.

Stainless Steel Finishes

Restore shine the right way.

If your hood features a stainless steel finish, you may occasionally use a stainless steel cleaner or polishing product to restore its shine. Always spray the product onto a cloth first, never directly onto the hood — this prevents overspray from reaching painted or finished surfaces.
