Cleaning Parts of
Your Cooktop
Control Knobs
The knobs on the control panel can be removed with the controls in the OFF position.
Pull each knob straight from the shaft. Wash knobs in warm soapy water or
dishwasher; do not use abrasive cleansers or materials. To replace each knob, match
flat part of knob opening with the spring on the shaft, returning in OFF position.
Control Knob Area
Use mild cleansers, such as soapy water or mild liquid sprays, such as 409. Wipe
with sponge, damp cloth or paper towel. Do not scrub with S.O.S. pads or abrasive
cleansers.
Cooktop
Stainless Steel Cooktop
* Before using the cooktop, remove all pieces of plastic covering the top. Use
a glass cleaner to remove any film residue from the top and inside the rim
area supporting the drip pan. If residue is left on cooktop, it can be burned
onto cooktop and be difficult to remove.
• To clean light soil, wipe with soapy cloth or nonabrasive cleanser, such as
Soft Scrub. Rinse, buff with soft cloth; polish with glass cleaner if necessary.
. To clean moderate soil or discoloration of the surface (excessive heat will cause
a golden discoloration), clean with Zud, Bar Keepers Friend, or Luneta (Jenn-
Air Model A912, Part No. 712191). With a sponge or cloth, rub cleanser with
the grain to avoid streaking the surface. Rinse well, buff dry; polish with a
glass cleaner if necessary to remove cleanser residue and smudge marks.
• Heavy soil, such as burned on food soil, can be removed by first cleaning
as per the instructions for moderate soil. Stubborn stains can be removed with
a damp Scotch-Brite scour-pad; rub evenly with the grain to avoid streaking
the surface. Rinse well, buff with dry cloth; polish with glass cleaner if necessary
to remove cleanser residue and smudge marks. Scotch-Brite is also useful in
buffing and removing minor scratches.
• Stubborn food stains may also be removed by spraying with Easy-Off oven
cleaner. Allow to set overnight, then rinse. If stains remain, clean with
recommended cleansers such as Zud, Luneta (Jenn-Air Model A912, Part No.
712191), or Scotch-Brite scour-pad. CAUTION: When using Easy-Off, avoid
spraying areas other than the stainless steel such as the air grille and control
knob area. Immediately wipe up any spray from these areas with a damp cloth.
Read the manufacturer's precautions on using oven cleaners. Hint: Easy-Off
can be used to clean the porcelain burner basin area.
