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 including 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 concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do not use harsh

scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning stainless steel.
