HOW TO CLEAN

 

 

 

 

 

 

Control knobs

1. Turn the knobs off and pull them straight away from the control panel.

 

 

 

2. Wash the knobs with a sponge and warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry them

 

 

 

well. Do not soak them. Do not use steel wool or gritty cleansers, which can

 

 

 

damage the finish of the knobs.

 

 

 

3. Replace the knobs. Make sure all knobs are turned off.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Control panel

•Wash the panel with a sponge and warm, soapy water. Wipe the panel with

 

 

 

clean water and dry it well. Do not use steel wool or gritty cleansers, which

 

 

 

can damage the finish.

 

 

 

OR

 

 

 

•Wash the panel with a paper towel and spray glass cleaner. Do not spray the

 

 

 

cleaner directly on the panel. Apply the cleaner to the paper towel.

 

 

Exterior surfaces

• Remove the grates.

 

 

(other than control

• Wash the surface with a sponge and warm, soapy water or paper towel and

 

 

panel)

spray glass cleaner. Wipe with clean water and dry thoroughly. Use a nonabra-

 

 

 

sive, plastic scrubbing pad on heavily soiled areas.

 

 

 

• Do not use steel wool, abrasives, or harsh cleansers. They may damage the

 

 

 

finish.

 

 

 

• If you use soap or detergent solutions, wipe thoroughly to prevent filmy residue.

 

 

 

NOTE: Do not let foods containing acids (such as vinegar, tomato, or lemon juice)

 

 

 

remain on the surface. Acids may remove the glossy finish. Also, wipe up milk or

 

 

 

egg spills when the cooktop is cool. Be careful when cleaning around the model

 

 

 

and serial number plate; too much scrubbing could remove the numbers.

 

 

 

• Replace the grates.

 

 

Surface burner

•Clean as soon as they become dirty and when they are cool enough to handle.

 

 

grates and caps

•Wash with a mildly abrasive plastic scrubbing pad and warm, soapy water.

 

 

 

Rinse and dry well.

 

 

 

•For stubborn stains, clean with a scrubbing pad and/or powdered cleanser and

 

 

 

water. Repeat these cleaning steps as needed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Surface burners

•See the “Sealed surface burners and cooktops” section for cleaning instructions.

 

 

Broiler pan

•Wash the pan and grid with a steel-wool pad and warm, soapy water. Rinse and

 

 

and grid

dry well.

 

 

 

•Do not clean in Self-Cleaning cycle. See “Before you start” in the “Using the

 

 

 

Self-Cleaning Cycle” section.

 

 

 

OR
