Reignition (on KCGS9 series models)
The reignition feature will automatically reignite the burner flame if it
blows out during use. Note that all igniters spark when any single
burner is in use.
Lighted Knob (on KCGS9 series models)
A ring of white light beneath the knob will illuminate to indicate that the
corresponding burner is in use.
CookShield Finish (on KCGS5 and KCGS9 series models)
CookShield Finish helps keep your cooktop looking new and bright.
CookShield preserves stainless steel by avoiding staining, discoloration
and yellowing, while making even baked-on soils easier to clean.
Stainless steel with CookShield Finish should be cleaned the same way
as traditional stainless steel. A soft cloth or non-scratch sponge and
warm soapy water will remove most food soils.
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the cooktop is cool. Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first
unless otherwise noted. Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon the cooktop is cool. These spills
may affect the finish.
Surface Type Cleaning Recommendation
Control Knobs The knobs should be cleaned with soap and water.
Do not clean knobs in the dishwasher or use abrasive cleaners or steel wool.
To remove the knobs, be sure knobs are in the OFF position.
Do not remove the seals under the knobs.
Burner Grates Soap and Water: Use a nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mildly abrasive cleanser, soap and water.
Dishwasher: The grates may be cleaned in the dishwasher. Remove any burnt on food prior to placing the grates in the
lowest rack in the dishwasher.
To avoid chipping, do not bang grates against each other or hard surfaces, such as cast iron cookware. Although the grates
are durable, they will gradually lose their shine due to exposure to high temperatures.
Burner Caps Use a nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mildly abrasive cleanser, soap and water.
Do not place caps in the dishwasher or reassemble caps on burners when wet.
Burner Spreader The holes in the burner spreaders must be kept clean for proper ignition and a complete, even flame.
Refer to “Cleaning the Burners: Tips” in the “Key Usage” section.
Stainless Steel
Cooktop Surface
