Cleaning Suggestions
Being Careful
Main Top/Porcelain Enamel
Soft scrub may be used here.
With a cool or slightly warm
surface, use a damp sponge or
cloth as recommended by the
manufacturer.
Since the surface is glass
– it
can be scratched by certain
materials
– try to rub gently in
small circles to allow time and
chemical reactions to take place.
Sealed Burners
Caps and burner heads can be
removed for cleaning using hot
sudsy water. A stiff nylon bristle
tooth brush can be used to clean
burner port openings.
Remember to dry out the ports
–
try to blow air through them if
you like
– water clogged ports
burn with erratic flames and
could be dangerous.
Open Burners
The cast iron burner heads are
heavy and porcelain coated. If
they are dirty, remove any large
debris and gently scrub under
hot, soapy water.
Like the sealed burners,
remember to dry out the ports
–
try to blow air through them if
you like
– water clogged ports
burn with erratic flames and
could be dangerous.
Control Knobs / Power Paint
Use dry hands to pull off the
knobs; hot sudsy water works
best here…
…with a sponge to avoid
scratching
Chrome Knob Bezels
Hot soapy water works well
here, with a sponge or soft cloth.
As with any round feature that
meets the stainless steel grain,
be careful to clean the bezels in
a circular motion
– and not
contact the stainless steel
control panel.
Exterior Finish/Island Trim
Use hot soapy water, Fantastic,
Formula 409, rinse and dry
immediately. For hard water
spots, try household vinegar or
CLR. If there is any heat
discoloration, consider using
Zud, Wright’s All Purpose Polish
or Blue Away
Rub lightly in the direction of the
grain of the stainless steel.
Salt (sodium chloride), chlorine
or chlorine compounds in some
cleaners are corrosive to
stainless steel
Grates / Porcelain Enamel on
Cast Iron
Hot water and detergent with
scrubbie, or soap filled steel
wool pad for really tough stains
will work.
Remove sugar or acid based
spills
– they tend to attack the
enamel.
Remember the grates are
heavy, use care when lifting and
replacing.
Chrome Griddle
Moisten a soft scrub cloth,
adding a drop of mild dish soap
to create a soapy lather - and
wipe the griddle from left to right.
Use plastic spatulas and spoons
when working the griddle
– see
more tips in the discussion on
griddle operation above.
