Clean with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and 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 off from the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.

Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia, ffnecessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop.

The holes in the burners of your cooktop must be kept clean at all times for proper ignition and a complete, even flame. Clean the burner holes routinely with a small gauge wire or needle and especially after bad spillovers which could clog these holes.

To remove and replace burner units per your model, see instructions under General Cleaning. To clean, soak the burners in a 1:1 solution of ammonia and water for 30 to 40 minutes. For stubborn stains, scrub with soap and water or a mild abrasive cleanser and damp cloth. Dry the burners thoroughly in a warm oven for 30 minutes.

Then replace them, making sure they are seated and level. DO NOT wash burner units in the dishwasher.
