Care and Cleaning

Stainless Steel Cooktop

Clean up spatters with a damp cloth. Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water.

Do not use abrasives of any kind on the control panel.

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem. Wash the knobs in soap and water but do not soak.

Clean the grille immediately after cooking. Turn off the burner. To protect your hand from steam and heat, wear a barbecue mitt. Scrub the grille by dipping a brass bristle barbecue brush frequently into a bowl of water.

The steam created softens the food particles and assists the cleaning process. The food particles will drop into the drip tray or into the radiant tray holding the ceramic briquettes. Be sure to clean the drain tube, drip tray and liner after they have cooled.

Stainless steel

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use a hot, damp cloth with a mild detergent suitable for stainless steel surfaces. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove soap. Dry with a dry, clean cloth.

If food soil remains, try a general kitchen cleaner, such as Fantastik®, Simple Green® or Formula 409®.

For hard-to-clean soil, use a standard stainless steel cleaner, such as Bon-Ami®or Cameo.

Apply cleaner with a damp sponge. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove cleaner. Dry with

a dry, clean cloth. Always scrub lightly in the direction of the grain.

After cleaning, use a stainless steel polish, such as Stainless Steel Magic®, Revere Copper and Stainless Steel Cleaner® or Wenol All Purpose Metal Polish®. Follow the product instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
