HOW TO CLEAN
• Turn the knobs off and pull them straight away from the control panel.
• Wash the knobs with a sponge and warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry them
well. Do not soak them. Do not use steel wool or gritty cleansers, which
can damage the finish of the knobs.
• Replace the knobs. Make sure all knobs are turned off.
• Clean as soon as they become dirty and when they are cool enough
to handle.
• Wash with a mildly abrasive plastic scrubbing pad and warm, soapy water.
Rinse and dry well.
• For stubborn stains, clean with a scrubbing pad and/or a powdered cleanser
and water. Repeat these cleaning steps as needed.
• See the “Sealed surface burners and cooktop” section for cleaning
instructions.
• Remove the grates.
• Wash the surface with a sponge and warm, soapy water or paper towel and
spray glass cleaner. Wipe with clean water and dry thoroughly. Use a
nonabrasive, plastic scrubbing pad on heavily soiled areas.
• Do not use steel wool, abrasives, or harsh cleansers. They may damage
the finish.
• If you use soap or detergent solutions, wipe thoroughly to prevent filmy
residue.
NOTE: When cleaning the cooktop with knobs removed, DO NOT allow water
to run down inside the cooktop.
• Replace the grates.
