CARE AND CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS
PART / MATERIAL CLEANING SUGGESTIONS BEING CAREFUL
Main Top/
Porcelain Enamel
Soft Scrub may be used here. With a cool or slightly warm
surface, use a damp sponge or cloth as recommended by the
manufacturer.
Since the surface is glass (it can be scratched by certain
materials) try to rub gently in small circles to allow time and
chemical reactions to take place.
Control Knobs/
Powder Paint
Use dry hands to pull o the knobs; hot sudsy water works
best here…
…with a sponge to avoid scratching
Chrome Knob Bezels
Hot soapy water works well here, with a sponge or soft
cloth.
As with any round feature that meets the stainless steel grain,
be careful to clean the bezels in a circular motion – and not
contact the stainless steel control panel.
Exterior Finish
Island Trim
Use hot soapy water, Fantastic, Formula 409, rinse and dry
immediately. For hard water spots, try household vinegar or
CLR. If there is any heat discoloration, consider using Zud,
Wright’s All Purpose Polish or Blue Away.
Rub lightly in the direction of the grain of the stainless steel.
Salt (sodium chloride), chlorine or chlorine compounds in
some cleaners are corrosive to stainless steel.
Grates/Porcelain
Enamel on Cast Iron
Hot water and detergent with scrubby, or soap lled steel
wool pad for really tough stains will work.
Remove sugar or acid based spills, they tend to attack the
enamel. Remember the grates are heavy, use care when lifting
and replacing.
