Cleaning Problems on Glass Ceramic Top (cont.)
Rangetop Surfaces
Several different finishes have been used on your rangetop. Cleaning
instructions for each surface are given below. NEVER USE AMMONIA,
STEEL WOOL PADS OR ANY ABRASIVE CLOTHS AND MATERIALS
SUCH AS CLEANSERS, OVEN CLEANERS OR ABRASIVE POWDERS.
THEY CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR RANGETOP.
Control Panel
DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia or abrasives. They
could remove the graphics from the control panel. Use hot, soapy water
and a soft, clean cloth. DO NOT spray liquids directly onto the control
panel.
Control Knobs
MAKE SURE ALL CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE “OFF” POSITION
BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off. Wash in detergent and
warm water. Dry completely and replace by pushing firmly onto stem.
Stainless Steel Parts
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy
water at the end of each cooling period and with a liquid cleaner
designed for that material when soapy water will not do the job. DO
NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders. If necessary,
scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the area with
hot towels to loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or
scraper. DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to
scrape stainless steel. DO NOT permit citrus or tomato juice to remain
on stainless steel surface, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless
steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.
Brass Parts
All special ordered brass parts are coated with an epoxy coating.
CAUTION
To avoid the risk of property damage, DO NOT USE BRASS
CLEANERS OR ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON ANY BRASS PARTS. All
brass body parts should be wiped regularly with hot, soapy water and
a soft, clean cloth. When hot, soapy water will not do the job, use
every day household cleaners that are not abrasive.
