English
WARNING
Turn off power, and let all surfaces cool before cleaning the cooktop. Wear rubber gloves, and be
mindful of sharp edges.
Cleaning the Cooktop Surface
Clean up spills immediately.
1.
Turn off all burners.
2.
When the grates have cooled, remove them.
3.
Clean the cooktop surface with a soft cloth. If
spills run into gaps in the burners, remove the
burner caps and head, and wipe up the spills.
4.
When finished, reassemble the burners, and
reposition the grates.
Cleaning Stainless-Steel Surfaces
Remove spills, spots, and grease stains with a soft, wet cloth.
1.
Apply an approved stainless-steel cleanser to a cloth or paper towel.
2.
Clean one small area then another, rubbing with the grain if applicable.
3.
Dry the surface with a soft, dry cloth.
CAUTION
•
Do not use steel wool, sharp scrapers, or abrasive cleaners that can damage the range.
•
Do not remove the cooktop basin. Gas lines can be damaged, perhaps causing a fire/malfunction.
•
Do not pour water into the cooktop. The water could enter the mechanisms below, causing an
electric-shock hazard or high levels of carbon monoxide from corroded gas valves/ports.
•
Do not spray cleanser into the manifold holes. The ignition system inside them must remain dry.
Cleaning the Control Knobs
1.
Pull the knobs off their valve stems.
2.
Clean the knobs in warm, soapy water (not the
dishwasher), then rinse and dry them thoroughly.
3.
Clean steel surfaces with stainless-steel cleaner.
4.
Re-attach the knobs.
CAUTION
Do not spray the control panel. The circuitry may be
harmed and create an electric shock hazard.
