Care Instructions for Your American Cabinets Custom Hood – Painted or Stained Finish
Your American Cabinets custom range hood is handcrafted from premium wood with a beautiful painted or stained finish to perfectly coordinate with your cabinetry. With proper care, it will keep its rich color, smooth finish, and showroom appearance for many years.
Daily & Weekly Cleaning
Wipe the exterior with a soft microfiber cloth dampened with warm water and a mild dish soap or a wood-safe, non-abrasive cleaner made for painted or stained cabinetry. For painted finishes use a gentle pH-neutral cleaner. For stained finishes use the same mild cleaner and follow up occasionally with a wood conditioner or polish designed for stained cabinetry. Always wipe in the direction of the wood grain and dry immediately with a clean dry cloth to avoid water spots or streaks. Never use abrasive pads, scouring powders, oven cleaners, acetone, or harsh solvents.
Monthly Maintenance
Gently clean the interior canopy and accessible areas to remove any grease or dust buildup. Remove and clean the grease filters in the dishwasher (top rack) or by hand with hot soapy water every 1–2 months or more frequently if you cook often. Check and wipe light fixtures with a dry cloth (turn power off first). Inspect the finish for any minor wear and touch up with the recommended wood polish or conditioner as needed.
Long-Term Care & Protection
Use your hood every time you cook to pull away grease and moisture that can affect the finish over time. Keep the hood free of direct high heat from the cooktop—allow burners to cool before operating the hood. Apply a quality wood polish or conditioner made for painted or stained cabinetry 2–3 times per year to nourish the finish and maintain its luster. Avoid hanging heavy items from the hood or placing hot pots directly against the surface.
Important Safety Notes
Always turn off power at the circuit breaker before cleaning internal parts or replacing lights or filters. Never operate the hood without the grease filters properly installed. Have the blower professionally serviced every 3–5 years for optimal performance.
Pro Tip
Because your custom hood was built to match your American Cabinets cabinetry, using the exact same gentle cleaners and polishes on both will keep your entire kitchen looking perfectly coordinated and fresh.
Following these simple steps will ensure your painted or stained custom hood stays beautiful and performs flawlessly for years to come.
