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, disconnect power to the appliance. 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
Clean the knobs and manifold panel after each
use. For best results, use a damp cloth and mild
soapy water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and
water. Rinse using clean water and immediately
dry and polish with a soft cloth.
CAUTION
• To avoid damaging the finish on the knobs and
manifold panel, do not use abrasive cleansers,
strong liquid cleaners, plastic scouring pads or
oven cleaners.
• Do not try to bend the knobs by pulling them up
or down, and do not hang a towel or other object
on them. Doing so can damage the gas valve
shaft.
• The control knobs may be removed for easy
cleaning.
• To remove 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.
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.
Oven Door
CAUTION
• Do not use harsh cleaners or harsh abrasive
cleaning materials on the outside of the oven
door. Doing so can cause damage.
• Use soapy water to thoroughly clean the oven
door. Rinse well. Do not immerse the door in
water.
