Care and cleaning of the cooktop.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the cooktop.
Proper care and cleaning are important so your cooktop will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these
directions carefully in caring for your cooktop to assure safe and proper maintenance.
Porcelain Enamel Cooktop (on some models)
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but
breakable if misused.
This finish is acid-resistant. However, any
acid foods spilled (such as fruit juices,
tomato or vinegar) should not be
permitted to remain on the finish.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is
hot, use a dry paper towel or cloth to
wipe it up right away. When the surface
has cooled, wash with soap and water.
Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings,
wash with soap and water or cleansing
powders after the surface has cooled.
Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
Stainless Steel Cooktop (on some models)
Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will
scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface,
use a hot, damp cloth with a mild
detergent suitable for stainless steel
surfaces. Use a clean, hot, damp
cloth to remove soap. Dry with a
dry, clean cloth.
If food soil remains, try a general
kitchen cleaner, such as Fantastik®,
Simple Green®, or Formula 409®.
For hard-to-clean soil, use a
standard stainless steel cleaner,
such as Bon-Ami® or Cameo®.
Apply cleaner with a damp sponge.
Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to
remove cleaner. Dry with a dry,
clean cloth. Always scrub lightly
in the direction of the grain.
After cleaning, use a stainless steel
polish, such as Stainless Steel Magic®,
Revere Copper and Stainless Steel
Cleaner®, or Wenol All Purpose
Metal Polish®. Follow the product
instructions for cleaning the stainless
steel surface.
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for cleaning.
Before removing the knobs for cleaning,
please note that the knobs on the left side
and the knobs on the right side are in the
proper OFF position. When replacing the
knobs, check the OFF position to insure
proper alignment.
To remove a knob, pull it straight off the
stem.
Wash the knobs in soap and water but do
not soak. Avoid getting water down in to
the knob stem holes.
To replace a knob, locate the groove in
each side of the knob stem. One of the
grooves contains a spring clip and the
other groove is clear. Locate the molded
rib inside the knob. Fit the molded rib
into the clear groove on the knob stem.
