For general cleaning, use hot soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and
built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to
60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on any
of these materials; they can scratch or dull the finish.
Wipe the control panel clean after each use. Before cleaning the control panel, turn
all controls to OFF and remove the control knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight
off the shaft. Clean using hot, soapy water and a cloth. Be sure to squeeze excess
water from the cloth before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the
controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance.
To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft;
then push the knob into place.
Clean with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and cloth. Do not
use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do not use harsh
scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning
stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners off from the surface as bluish
stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a
1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an
ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp
cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean
cloth or paper towel. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged
during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop.
The holes in the burners of your cooktop must be kept clean at all times for proper
ignition and a complete, even flame. Clean the burner holes routinely with a small gauge
wire or needle and especially after bad spillovers which could clog these holes.
To remove and replace burner units per your model, see Sealed Burner section of
these General Care & Cleaning instructions. To clean, soak the burners in a 1:1
solution of ammonia and water for 30 to 40 minutes. For stubborn stains, scrub
with soap and water or a mild abrasive cleanser and damp cloth. Dry the burners
thoroughly in a warm oven for 30 minutes. Then replace them, making sure they are
seated and level. DO NOT wash burner units in the dishwasher.
