Cleaning and Maintenance-Cooktop
Cleaning
The entire cooktop can be safely cleaned by wiping with
a soapy sponge, then rinsing and drying. If stubborn soil
remains, follow the recommended cleaning methods
below.
Cleaning recommendations:
▯
Always keep the appliance area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
▯
Always use the mildest cleaner that will do the job.
Use clean, soft cloths, sponges or paper towels.
▯
Rub stainless steel finishes in the direction of the
grain. Wipe area dry to avoid water marks.
▯
Before cleaning, be certain the burners are turned off
and the grates and burners are cool.
▯
Do not clean removable cooktop parts in any self
cleaning oven or dishwasher.

Do not obstruct air flow around cooktop burners,
range backguard and door area.
