COOKTOP CARE

General Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the cooktop is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products.

Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted.

Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills may affect the finish.

Cleaning Method:

■Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner or nonabrasive scrubbing pad:

Gently clean around the model and serial number plate because scrubbing may remove numbers.

CONTROL KNOBS

To avoid damage to the control knobs, do not use steel wool, abrasive cleansers or oven cleaner.

To avoid damage, do not soak knobs.

When replacing knobs, make sure knobs are in the Off position.

On some models, do not remove seals under knobs.

NOTE: When replacing knobs after cleaning either the surface burner controls or the grill module control, make sure the knobs are replaced to the correct location. For example, the knobs for the surface burner controls will read “LITE,” while the knob for the grill will read “LITE/HI.”

Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.

PORCELAIN-COATED GRATES AND CAPS

To avoid chipping, do not bang grates and caps against each other or hard surfaces such as cast iron cookware.
