Design and Maintenance Tips

Customizing Your Look

• Finish Options: Choose between 430 and 304 stainless steel to match your kitchen's needs.
• Personal Touch: Consider pairing the chimney extension with complementary backsplash designs or cabinet finishes for a cohesive look.

Keeping It Pristine

• Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the chimney with a non-abrasive cleaner to maintain its shine and prevent grease buildup. Always remember to wipe with the grain of the stainless to avoid any scratching. We recommend Sprayway stainless steel cleaner.

Important Considerations

• 3-Piece Extensions work only with ducted installations
• Designed to replace the upper cabinet
• Proper measurements are crucial for correct fit
• Account for hood mounting height when selecting extension size
