How to Clean
For general cleaning , use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils 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 control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control knobs.
To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean as instructed above. 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. To replace
knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft, then push the
knob(s) into place.
Clean burner grates, broiler pan and insert in the dishwasher and dry upon removal. If soils
are not removed, follow the cooktop cleaning instructions below.
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1
solution of clean water and ammonia.
If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-
soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, then
scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. 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 the 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
a damp cloth. Dry the burners thoroughly in a warm oven for 30 minutes. Then replace
them, making sure they are properly seated and level.
DO NOT wash burner units in the
dishwasher.
