If discoloration occurs, you should thoroughly polish the finish on your hood
to renew its gloss and luster and to remove any grease residue which may
have a yellowing effect. Use any good enamel polish, refrigerator polish, or
automotive polish.

Cleaning the Hood Canopy
Finishes in enamel or stainless steel are highly resistant to damage or
discoloration due to grease, steam, and heat provided that reasonable care is
given to the equipment. The following suggestions will help you keep your
hood looking new. Do not allow an excessive accumulation of grease. For
best results, you should wipe your hood clean with a cloth dipped in warm,
soapy water.

stainless steel surfaces, use a good stainless steel cleaner and polish.
