Care and cleaning of the cooktop
WARNING
Be sure unplug the power cord and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part
of the cooktop. If the power cord is inaccessible, turn off power to the cooktop at
the breaker or fuse box.
Cooktop surface
We recommend that you remove food spills immediately after they take place.
LEFT
RIGHT
1. Turn off all surface burners.
2. Wait until all burner grates cool down,
and then remove them.
3. Clean the cooktop surface using a soft
cloth. If food spills run into gaps of the
burner components, remove the burner
cap and the head, and wipe up the spills.
4.
When you are done cleaning, reinsert
the burner components, and then put the
burner grates back into position.
Porcelain enamel surfaces (on some models)
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if misused. This finish is acid-
resistant. However, any acidic foods with high sugar content (such as fruit, juices,
tomatoes, or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the finish.
If an acidic food spills on the cooktop while it is hot, turn off all burners, and then
use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe the spill up right away. When the surface
has cooled, wash it with an all-purpose cleaner and water. Rinse well. For other
spills, such as fat spatterings, wash the cooktop with soap and water or an all-
purpose cleaner after the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
Stainless steel surfaces (on some models)
1.
Remove any spills, spots, and grease stains using a soft, wet cloth.
2. Apply an apporoved stainless steel cleanser to a cloth or paper towel.
3. Clean one small area at a time, rubbing with the grain of the stainless steel if
applicable.
4. When done, dry the surface using a soft, dry cloth.
5.
Repeat steps 2 through 4 as many times as necessary.
CAUTION
• Do not use a steel-wool pad or abrasive cleaner, which can scratch or damage the
surface.
• Do not remove the cooktop surface to clean it. The gas lines leading to the burner
manifolds can be damaged, resulting in a fire or system failure.
• Do not pour water into the cooktop well while cleaning the cooktop. This could
leak down into the cooktop gas and electrical systems creating a risk of electrical
shock or high levels of Carbon Monoxide due to corrosion of the gas valves or
ports.
• Do not spray any type of cleanser into the manifold holes. The ignition system is
located in those holes and must be kept free of moisture.
• Do not clean the cooktop or stainless steel parts with:
• Caustic lye (sodium hydroxide) or cleaners containing this chemical
• Hard or steel wool pads
• Abrasive materials or chemicals.
