Maintenance Guides for Stainless Steel Range Hoods

In this blog, we provide a guide to ensure your stainless steel range hood stays clean, efficient, and maintains its shine over time.

Regular Cleaning Tips

Routine cleaning is essential for preventing grease build-up and keeping your range hood looking its best. Here’s how to go about it:

Use a mild dish soap or cleaner: Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the stainless steel. Instead, use a soft cloth or sponge with a mild detergent or a solution of warm water and mild dish soap.

Wipe with the grain: Stainless steel has a grain, and it’s best to clean in the direction of this grain to avoid streaks and scratches.

Avoid abrasive tools: Steel wool or abrasive scouring pads can scratch the finish. Use a microfiber or soft cloth instead.

Cleaning the Filters

One of the most important parts of maintenance is cleaning the range hood filters, which trap grease and ensure proper ventilation.

Remove and Soak: If your hood has removable metal filters, take them out and soak them in hot, soapy water for about 15 minutes.

Scrub if Necessary: After soaking, use a soft brush to scrub away any remaining grease.

Dishwasher Option: The filters of our hood are also dishwasher safe.

Preventive Maintenance Tips

Finally, a few habits can help prevent excess wear on your range hood:

Turn on your range hood before cooking: Turning on the fan while cooking helps capture smoke, steam, and grease, keeping the kitchen air clean and reducing residue buildup on the range hood.

Wipe down after heavy cooking: After heavy use of the stove, a quick wipe down of the range hood will help prevent grease from hardening and becoming more difficult to remove.

Clean your filters regularly: Set a reminder to clean your filters every one to three months, depending on how often you cook.

A little regular maintenance goes a long way in keeping your stainless steel range hood looking and performing its best. Follow these tips to keep your range hood looking its best, improve the air quality in your kitchen, and extend the life of your appliance. Investing a few minutes each month will ensure that your stainless steel range hood remains a beautiful and functional centerpiece in your kitchen for years to come.
