How to glean:

Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.

For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soil and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch.

Before cleaning the glass controlpanel make sure all surface controls are are turned OFF and activate the Oven Lockout feature (See page 19 for detailed Oven Lockout instructions).

Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth then rinse with clean water. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the cloth before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance.

DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. This type of cleaner will permanently scratch the glass control panel. DO NOT place or leave cleaning supplies on the ceramic cooktop while cleaning the glass control panel. Move these items to a kitchen counter-top. To finish cleaning or for lighter soil use a typical household glass cleaner and paper towels.

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