CLEANING KNOBS AND KNOB BEZELS
The control knobs provided with this cooktop are designed for ease of use and
longevity. The “D” shaped design of the knob shaft ensures proper orientation
when reinstalling the knob.
The knobs and knob bezels are made of a composite plastic. These components
should be washed regularly in warm, soapy water. Hand dishwashing liquid is
excellent for this task. Knobs should be removed by gently pulling them straight out
and off of the valve shafts. Use caution to avoid introduction of moisture into the
control panel behind the bezels. To replace knobs, align the “D-shaped” opening at
the bottom of the knob with the “D-shaped” valve shaft, then carefully press the
knob onto the valve.
CLEANING BURNER BASES
The burner base is permanently attached to the cooktop. The base should be
wiped clean using a soft cloth or sponge that has been lightly dampened with warm
water and hand dishwashing liquid. Thoroughly clean and dry the igniters to prevent
constant sparking of the reignition system. Refer to the Cleaning the Burner
Igniters section for cleaning tips.
