Interior
Discoloration of stainless steel on these
parts is to be expected, due to intense
heat from the burners.
• Cleaning should always be followed by
rinsing with clean, warm water.
• Use a mild liquid detergent or all-
purpose cleaner, following label
instructions. Rinse with clean water and
dry completely with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• A heavy-duty scrub sponge can be used
with mild cleaning products. Always rub
in the direction of the grain.
• For small, difficult-to-clean areas, use
Whirlpool Degreaser (Part No. 31552), a
commercial degreaser designed for
stainless steel. See "Requesting
Assistance or Service" section to order.
U-shaped burners
* Clean the exterior of the burner with a
wire brush.
* Clear any clogged burner ports with a
straightened paper clip. Never use a
toothpick as it may break off and clog
the port.
* Use a flashlight to inspect into the
burner through the burner inlet to
ensure there is no blockage. If any
obstruction is seen, use a metal coat
hanger that has been straightened to
clear them.
Drip tray
IMPORTANT:
The drip tray should only be
removed when grill is completely cool.
The full-width drip tray collects grease
and food particles that fall through the
grill. Remove tray and set on a flat
surface.
Cleaning
General Cleaning
IMPORTANT:
Before cleaning, make sure
all controls are off and the grill is cool.
Always follow label instructions on
cleaning products.
For routine cleaning, wash with soap and
water using a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse
with clean water and dry at once with a
soft, lint-free cloth to avoid spots and
streaks.
Never use steel wool to clean the grill, as
it will scratch the surface.
Use vinyl grill cover, available from
your local dealer, to protect finish from
weather. See "Accessories" section.
Stainless Steel
IMPORTANT:
Do not use soap-filled
scouring pads, abrasive cleaners,
Cooktop Polishing Creme, steel wool,
gritty wash cloths or paper towels.
Cleaners should not contain chlorine.
Damage may occur.
Rub in direction of grain to avoid
scratching or damaging the surface.
Food spills should be cleaned as soon as
entire grill is cool. Spills may cause
permanent discoloration.
• Use Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish
(Part #4396095). See “Requesting
Assistance or Service” section to order.
• Use a mild liquid detergent or all-
purpose cleaner according to label
instructions.
• Rinse with clean water and dry at once
with soft, lint-free cloth to avoid spots
and streaks.
• Use vinegar to remove hard water
spots. Rinse with water and dry
thoroughly.
• Use a glass cleaner to remove
fingerprints.
Exterior
The quality of this material resists most
stains and pitting, providing that the
surface is kept clean and protected.
• Apply stainless steel polish to all non-
cooking areas before first use. Re-apply
after each cleaning to prevent
permanent damage to surface.
• Cleaning should always be followed by
rinsing with clean warm water.
• Wipe the surface completely dry with a
soft cloth.
• For tough spots or baked-on grease, use
Whirlpool Degreaser (Part No. 31552), a
commercial degreaser designed for
stainless steel. See "Requesting
Assistance or Service" section to order.
Grill grates
IMPORTANT:
Never use a steel or fiber
scraper on grill grates.
Immediately after you are finished
cooking, loosen food soil with a brass
bristle brush. Turn all burners to “HI” for
10-15 minutes with the hood closed to
burn off food soil. Turn off all burners,
raise the hood and let grates cool. Use
the brass bristle brush to remove ash
from the grill grates.
When completely cool, grill racks can be
removed for thorough cleaning. Clean
them with a mild detergent and warm
water.
For baked-on soil, prepare a solution of
1 cup (250 mL) ammonia to 1 gallon
(3.75 L) water. Soak grates for 20
minutes, then rinse with water and dry
completely.
Warming Shelf
• Use a mild liquid detergent (such as a
dish detergent) or an all-purpose
cleaner, following the label instructions.
Rinse with clean water and dry with soft,
lint-free cloth.
• For tough spots or baked-on grease, use
Whirlpool Degreaser (Part No. 31552), a
commercial degreaser designed for
stainless steel. See "Requesting
Assistance or Service" section to order.
