Care and Cleaning
Range Top / Cooktop
•To avoid electrical shock or burns, turn off all controls
and ensure the cooktop is cool before cleaning.
•Before cleaning the cooktop, ensure that all burners are
turned off and that all components are cool enough to
safely touch.
•Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents, waxes,
polishes, or commercial cooktop cleaners to clean the
cooktop. They may cause permanent damage to the
surface.
•Use only a sponge, soft cloth, brous or plastic brush,
and nylon pad for cleaning.
•Always dry components completely before using the
cooktop.
Control Knobs
To clean, use a damp soapy cloth for everyday cleaning of
the knobs. For heavier cleaning for grease, etc., apply a non-
abrasive liquid detergent to a damp cloth. Clean and then
dry completely.
Make sure not to rotate the knobs when cleaning.
Burner Grates
These three grates should only be used in their proper
positions. DO NOT operate a burner for an extended period
of time without cookware on the grate. To clean, AFTER
COOLING, use hot water or white vinegar, and DO NOT
place in a dishwasher. When replacing the grates, be sure
they are positioned securely over the burners.
Please note that the grates have rubber pads on the
feet that come into contact with the appliance to avoid
scratches. After cleaning it is important to verify that these
rubber pads are still there. Should they come off, they can
be reapplied using a heat-resistant adhesive.
Burner Rings
Lift off when cool. Wash burner rings in hot, soapy water and
rinse with clean water. To remove burned-on food particles,
you may scour with a plastic scouring pad. Thoroughly dry
before returning the rings to the appliance.
The rings are NOT dishwasher safe.
Do not use cleaners for stainless steel surfaces as these
rings are not stainless steel.
Burner Caps
Lift off when cool. Wash Burner Caps in hot, soapy water
and rinse with clean water. Remove any food from between
the burner slots using a small non-abrasive brush like a
toothbrush, and afterwards wipe using a damp cloth.
To remove deposits from the burner cavities, remove the cap
and separate the two parts. Clean the burner holes routinely
with a small gauge wire or needle and especially after bad
spillovers which could clog these holes.
Thoroughly dry before returning the heads to the appliance.
The heads are NOT dishwasher safe.
Stainless Steel
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water
or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the
surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner
instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
DO NOT use a steel wool pad as it will scratch the surface.
Do not use cleaners with chlorides or chlorines. Do not use
harsh scrubbing cleaners.
Use a hot, damp cloth with a mild detergent. Use a clean,
hot, damp cloth to remove soap. Dry with a dry, clean cloth.
Metal Finishes
Wash with soap and water, glass cleaner, or mild liquid
sprays.
Plastic Finishes
When control panel trim and end caps are cool, clean with
soap and water, rinse and dry.
Use a glass cleaner and soft cloth.
