Use & Care Manual
CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS
PART / MATERIAL CLEANING SUGGESTIONS BEING CAREFUL
Main Top/
Porcelain Enamel
Soft Scrub may be used here. With a cool or
slightly warm surface, use a damp sponge or cloth
as recommended by the manufacturer.
Since the surface is glass (it can be scratched by
certain materials) try to rub gently in small circles to
allow time and chemical reactions to take place.
Sealed Burners
Caps and burner heads can be removed for
cleaning using hot sudsy water. A stiff nylon bristle
tooth brush can be used to clean burner port
openings.
Remember to dry out the ports (try to blow air
through them if you like). Water clogged ports burn
with erratic ames and could be dangerous.
Open Burners
The cast iron burner heads are heavy and porcelain
coated. If they are dirty, remove any large debris
and gently scrub under hot, soapy water.
Like the sealed burners, remember to dry out the
ports (try to blow air through them if you like).
Water clogged ports burn with erratic ames and
could be dangerous.
Control Knobs/
Powder Paint
Use dry hands to pull off the knobs; hot sudsy
water works best here…
…with a sponge to avoid scratching
Chrome Knob
Bezels
Hot soapy water works well here, with a sponge or
soft cloth.
As with any round feature that meets the stainless
steel grain, be careful to clean the bezels in a circular
motion – and not contact the stainless steel control
panel.
Exterior Finish
Island Trim
Use hot soapy water, Fantastic, Formula 409, rinse
and dry immediately. For hard water spots, try
household vinegar or CLR. If there is any heat
discoloration, consider using Zud, Wright’s All
Purpose Polish or Blue Away.
Rub lightly in the direction of the grain of the stainless
steel. Salt (sodium chloride), chlorine or chlorine
compounds in some cleaners are corrosive to
Stainless Steel.
Grates/Porcelain
Enamel on
Cast Iron
Hot water & detergent with scrubby, or soap lled
steel wool pad for really tough stains will work.
Remove sugar or acid based spills, they tend to attack
the enamel. Remember the grates are heavy, use care
when lifting and replacing.
Griddle
Moisten a soft scrub cloth, adding a drop of mild
dish soap to create a soapy lather - and wipe the
griddle from left to right.
Use plastic spatulas and spoons when working the
griddle. See more tips in the discussion on griddle
operation above.
