MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
CAUTION
• Do not clean this appliance with bleach.
• To prevent burns, wait until the cooktop has
cooled down before touching any of its parts.
• Always wear gloves when cleaning the cooktop.
General Cleaning Tips
• A plastic spatula can be used as a scraper to
scrape off any chunks or debris before and
during oven cleaning.
• Using the rough side of a non-scratch scouring
pad may help to take off burnt-on stains better
than a soft sponge or towel.
• Certain non-scratch scrubbing sponges, such as
those made of melamine foam, available at your
local stores, can also help improve cleaning.
Exterior
Control Panel
To prevent activating the control panel during
cleaning, unplug the range. Clean up splatters with
a damp cloth using a glass cleaner. Remove
heavier soil with warm, soapy water. Do not use
abrasives of any kind.
Front Manifold Panel and Knobs
It is best to clean the manifold panel after each use
of the range. For cleaning, use a damp cloth and
mild soapy water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar
and water. For rinsing, use clean water and polish
dry with a soft cloth.
CAUTION
• Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners
on the manifold panel. Doing so will damage the
finish.
• Do not try to bend the knobs by pulling them up
or down, and do not hang a towel or other
objects on them. This can damage the gas valve
shaft.
• The control knobs may be removed for easy
cleaning.
• To clean the knobs, make sure that they are in
the OFF position and pull them straight off the
stems.
• To replace the knobs, make sure the knob has
the OFF position centered at the top, and slide
the knob directly onto the stem.
NOTE
• To prevent scratching, do not use abrasive
cleaners on any of these materials.
Painted and Decorative Trim
For general cleaning, use a cloth with hot soapy
water. For more difficult soils and built-up grease,
apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil.
Leave it on for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp
cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
To avoid scratches, do not use steel wool pads.
1 Place a small amount of stainless steel
appliance cleaner or polish on a damp cloth or
paper towel.
2 Clean a small area, rubbing with the grain of
the stainless steel if applicable.
3 Dry and buff with a clean, dry paper towel or
soft cloth.
4 Repeat as necessary.
NOTE
• To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm
sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish.
• Always wipe in the direction of the metal surface
finish.
• Stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish can be
purchased online or from most retailers of
appliances or home goods.
