Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for cleaning.
To remove knob, pull it straight off the stem. If knob is difficult to remove, place a thin cloth (like a handkerchief) or a piece of string under and around the knob edge and pull up.
Wash knobs in soap and water but do not soak. Avoid getting water down into the knob stem holes.
To replace knob, locate the groove in each side of the knob stem. One of the grooves contains a spring clip and the other groove is clear. Locate the molded rib inside the knob. Fit the molded rib into the clear groove on the knob stem.
Safety Instructions Operating
Burner Grates
Burner grates should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. Dry the grates with a cloth— don’t put them back on the cooktop wet. When replacing the grates, be sure they’re positioned securely over the burners.
To get rid of
Although they’re durable, the grates will gradually lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can give them. This is due to their continual exposure to high temperatures.
Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
Instructions Care and Cleaning
Drip Pans
Drip pans can permanently discolor if exposed to excessively high heat or if soil is allowed to bake on.
Remove the grates. Then lift out the drip pans.
To remove brown food stains, soak them for about 20 minutes in slightly diluted liquid cleanser or a mild solution of ammonia and water (1/2 cup of ammonia to one gallon of water). Rinse with clean water.
Blue/gold heat stains can be lessened with a metal polish but are usually permanent. To minimize staining, avoid excessive use of high heat setting and use flat bottom pans that do not extend more than two inches from the surface burner.
The drip pans may also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
When replacing drip pans, the notch on the rear pan and the notch on the front pan should meet in the middle.
