COOKTOP CONTROLS
To avoid damage to the cooktop controls, do not use steel wool,
abrasive cleansers, or oven cleaner.

On some models, do not remove seals under knobs.
Cleaning Method:
■ Soap and water:
Pull knobs straight away from control panel to remove.
GRATES AND CAPS
Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should
be cleaned as soon as the cooktop, grates, and caps are cool.
These spills may affect the finish.
To avoid chipping, do not bang grates and caps against each
other or hard surfaces such as cast iron cookware.
Do not reassemble caps on burners while wet.
Cleaning Method:

cleanser:

Vent Grate
Cleaning Method:
■ Lift off the vent grate.
■ Wipe clean or wash in sink:
Nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mildly
abrasive cleanser

Removable Grease Filter
The filter is a permanent type and should be cleaned when soiled.
Cleaning Method:
■ Turn off the downdraft ventilation system before removing
the filter.
■ Remove burner grates, then vent grate and lift the filter out
of the vent chamber.
■ Clean the filter in the sink with warm water and detergent
or in the top rack of the dishwasher.
■ Replace the filter.
The filter should always be placed at an angle. As you face
the front of the cooktop, the top of the filter should rest
against the right side of the vent opening. The bottom of the
filter should rest against the left side of the vent chamber at
the bottom.
If the filter is flat against the fan wall, ventilation effectiveness
will be reduced.
Ventilation Chamber
The ventilation chamber, which houses the filter, should be
cleaned in the event of spills or when it becomes coated with
a film of grease.
Cleaning Method:
■ Mild household detergent or cleanser and paper towel, damp
cloth, or sponge:
Apply detergent or cleanser to paper towel, damp cloth,
or sponge, not directly to the ventilation chamber.
