CARE AND CLEANING
IMPORTANT
To avoid possible burns use care when cleaning the cooktop. DO NOT
attempt to clean the cooktop whenever the cooktop or burner heads are
still hot. To avoid possible burns DO NOT attempt any of the following
cleaning instructions before turning OFF ALL of the surface burners and
allowing them to cool.
• Control Knobs -
For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For
more difficult soils and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto
the soil. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry.
DO NOT use steel wool or acidic cleaners on the knobs; as they can scratch.
• Burner Grates -
Clean burner grates in the dishwasher and dry upon removal.
• Burner Caps -
Should you ever need to remove the burner caps for cleaning
lift the burner cap off the burner head. Clean heavy soils with an absorbent
cloth. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and immediately thoroughly dry includ-
ing the bottom and inside of the cap. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners.
They can scratch the cap. Do not clean burner caps in dishwasher.
• Burner Heads -
The holes in the burners of your cooktop MUST be kept
clean at all times for proper ignition and a complete, even flame. Remove
any food from between the burner slots using a small nonabrasive brush like
a toothbrush and afterwards wipe using a damp cloth. To remove deposits
from the burner cavities, remove the cap and separate the two parts. Clean
the burner holes routinely with a small gauge wire or needle and especially
after bad spillovers which could clog these holes. After cleaning, put the two
parts back together and return them correctly to their position, making sure
they are seated and level. DO NOT put burner units in the dishwasher.
• Stainless Steel
-
Clean stainless steel with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth.
Rinse with clean water and a cloth. Do not use cleaners with high concentra-
tions of chlorides or chlorines. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use
kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning stainless steel.
