Care Recommendation
Stainless steel
Although resistant to most
stains, it is not totally impervi-
ous to damage. Salt and
some cooking liquids may pit
and stain surface. Always
remove these spills immediate-
ly.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners;
they will permanently scratch
the surface.
Porcelain enamel (matte finish)
Never wipe a warm or hot
porcelain surface with a damp
sponge; it may cause chipping
or crazing (tiny hair-like cracks)
Porcelain-coated cast iron
Chrome-plated
Tempered glass
Ceramic
General care:
Use a clean cloth or sponge, wipe
with warm water and mild detergent. Rinse and
dry immediately. Apply protective polish, always in
the same direction.
Spray degreaser:
Removes fingerprints and
greasy spatters. Spray on a cloth and wipe sur-
face. Buff dry immediately to avoid streaking.
Protective polish:
Apply to surface to maintain lus-
ter and protect from some food stains
Hard water stains:
Use white vinegar and water.
Cool first. Wash in warm water with liquid deter-
gent or mild abrasive cleaners.
Foods high in acid or sugar content, such as milk,
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices and pie filling,
may pit or craze the surface. Remove as soon as
possible. Do not cook the spill on again.
Remove from cooktop and place on a flat surface
near the sink.
Non-abrasive cleaners:
Hot water and liquid deter-
gent, paste of baking soda and water, plastic pad
or sponge.
Mild abrasive and abrasive cleaners:
Use sparing-
ly.
To remove the knobs, slip the edge of a dishtowel
under the knob; pull the edge together. Using the
towel for leverage, lift up; the knob pulls off of the
valve stem.
General care:
Wipe each knob with a damp cloth
and mild soap and water; rinse and dry. Never
soak or use abrasive cleaners; they will scratch the
finish and remove the markings.
Spray cleaners:
Removes fingerprints and greasy
food soils. Spray first on a cloth before wiping
panel.
Keep dry Never spray water or cleaner directly on
the igniter. When cleaning around the surface
burner, be careful that the cloth does not catch on
the igniter and damage it.
