COOKTOP CLEANING TIPS
•
Wait until surfaces are cool before cleaning.
•
For best results, wipe up spills and spatters as they
occur and immediately after the cooktop has cooled. If
splatters are allowed to cook on, they may permanently
damage or stain the finish.
•
Use a spray degreaser to remove fingerprints and
greasy spatters. Spray on a cloth and wipe the surface.
Buff dry immediately to avoid streaking. For hard water
stains, use white vinegar and water.
•
If in doubt about using one of your cleaners, check the
label. To check if it is safe to use on your cooktop, try a
small amount on an inconspicuous area.
•
Use caution when spraying cleaners. Some contain
caustic ingredients that can damage adjacent parts
and finishes. Protect the adjacent parts by masking
them off to avoid damage by overspray.
•
Do not spray cleaners on control knobs or igniters.
•
Refer to care recommendations for specific care
instructions for cooktop components.
STAINLESS STEEL EXTERIOR
Cooktop exterior and trim.
•
Do not use abrasive cleaners; they will permanently
scratch stainless steel surfaces. Salt and some
cooking liquids may pit and stain the surface. Remove
these spills immediately.
•
Use a spray degreaser to remove fingerprints and
greasy spatters. Spray on a cloth and wipe the surface.
Buff dry immediately to avoid streaking. For hard water
stains, use white vinegar and water.
•
For general cleaning, use a soft, nonabrasive stainless
steel cleaner like Signature polish and apply with a soft
lint-free cloth. To bring out the natural luster, lightly
wipe the surface with a water-dampened microfiber
cloth followed by a dry polishing chamois. All work
should follow the grain direction of the finish. Better
results are obtained by keeping the cloth in continuous
contact with the stainless steel.

Signature polish is available from Signature Limited
