Care and Cleaning

Gas Cooktop

General information

Proper care and cleaning are important so your cooktop will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for it.

Some cooktop models are provided with cleaners. Follow the instructions on the containers.

Before cleaning any part of your cooktop, be sure all burners are off and cool.

DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE COOKTOP at the fuse box or circuit breaker panel, or pull the cooktop power plug, located beneath the cooktop and inside

the cabinets.

Stainless steel surfaces

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

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water, a stainless steel cleaner such as Kleen King®, or an all-purpose liquid or spray cleaner. Always scrub in the direction of the grain. Rinse thoroughly with a sponge or cloth and clean water. Dry with a soft, clean cloth.

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.

On some models, samples of special cleaners have been supplied with your cooktop. Use the Stainless Steel Brightener when stainless steel is exposed to high heat and has a yellow appearance. The Stainless Steel Cleaner is for other cleaning. Follow the product instructions for proper cleaning methods. If you need an additional supply, you can purchase them by calling 800.626.2002.

Control knobs

The control knobs may be removed for cleaning.

To remove knob, pull it straight up.

The knobs have a tactile grip surface, but no special cleaning is required.

Wash the knobs in soap and water but do not soak. Avoid getting water down into the knob stem holes.

Replace the knobs after cleaning.

NOTE: The knob stem is “D” shaped. Replace the flat side of the knob onto the flat side of the stem.

Sealed burner assemblies

Turn all controls OFF before removing the burner parts.

The burner grates, burner caps and burner ring sub-assemblies can be lifted off, making them easy to clean.

CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS IN PLACE.

turned to “ON” to

light, all the burners spark. Do not

attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. An electric shock may result, which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.
