Cleaning Various Parts of Your Cooktop
Before cleaning any part of the cooktop, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the cooktop is COOL. REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANING WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF MAJOR CLEANING LATER.
Surfaces | How to Clean |
Aluminum (Trim Pieces) | Use hot, soapy water and a cloth or paper towel. Dry with a clean cloth. |
|
|
Painted and Plastic | Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar |
Control Knobs, Body Parts, | and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with a soft cloth. |
and Decorative Trim | Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first. DO NOT spray liquids directly |
| on the control pad and display area. Do not use large amounts of water on the control panel |
| - excess water on the control area may cause damage to the appliance. Do not use other |
| liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or some paper towels - they will damage |
| the finish. |
|
|
Control Panel | Wipe the control panel clean after each use. Before cleaning the control panel, turn all |
| controls to OFF and remove the control knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the |
| shaft. Clean using hot, soapy water and a cloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the |
| cloth before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water |
| in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. To replace knobs after |
| cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place. |
Stainless Steel, Chrome (brushed)
Decorative Trim Cooktop
Clean stainless steel with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a cloth. Do not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners from the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.
