Care and cleaning
Use soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth to clean the cooktop, rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. Clean the cooktop regularly, before spills become burnt on. Soaking stubborn stains under the soapy cloth for a few minutes will help make them easier to remove. Grates are dishwasher safe. If stubborn soil remains follow the recommended cleaning methods outlined below.
WARNING!
Hot Surface Hazard
Before cleaning, be certain the burners are turned off and the whole cooktop is cool.
Failure to do so could result in burns and scalds.
Always use the mildest cleaner that will do the job. Use clean, soft cloths, sponges or paper towels.
Clean brushed stainless steel finishes in the direction of the grain.
Dry thoroughly to avoid water marks.
Do not clean cooktop parts in any self cleaning oven.
After cleaning, replace all cooktop parts in their proper position before using the cooktop.
Rinse and wipe away all cleaner residue as when heated the cleaners can permanently stain the cooktop.
Important!
The cleaners recommended on the following page indicate cleaner types and do not constitute an endorsement of a particular brand. Use all products according to directions on the package.
Cleaning procedures listed opposite are only applicable for the ‘F&P Gas cooktops’ and are not applicable for other appliances with stainless steel finish.
