Enamel Panels

Polished Enamel Panels (all colors but Matte Black and Pebble Grey):

A soft cloth and warm soapy water should remove any grease or food

stains. Following this step, use a dry cloth to dry the enamel panels.

Windex® is also another option to optimize a shine on the enamel. Be

sure to spray on a paper towel and then wipe clean; do not spray the

Windex® directly onto the enamel.

Matte Enamel Panels (Matte Black and Pebble Grey only):

Using a white cloth and warm soapy water should rid of any grease or

food stains. Following this step, use a dry cloth to dry the enamel panels.

Accents:

Brushed and Polished Brass:

The Brushed and Solid Brass trim on Château ranges are solid Brass and will patina naturally. If

desired, this patina can be removed with any brass polish. Seapower Metal Polish is a wonderful

product to use on the Brass. Be sure to have a good supply of white soft cloths on hand. Clean

only a small area at a time. It is not recommended to coat all trim piece at one time as it is time

consuming and the brass polish should not sit on the brass for extended periods of time.

Brushed Stainless Steel:

Stainless Steel will not patina but may darken over time. To brighten this trim, wipe down with

warm soapy water. Be sure to rinse, and dry well to avoid water spots. Use a stainless steel spray

to maintain a shine when clean. Do not spray directly on stainless steel. Stainless Steel wipes are

also acceptable for use here as well.

Chrome and Polished Stainless Steel:

The Polished Chrome and Polished Stainless Steel trim are the most low-maintenance and will

require very little polishing, if any. When desired, wipe down with warm soapy water. Be sure

to rinse, and dry well to avoid water spots. In addition, Windex® may also be used to promote a shine but is not necessary. Copper: The Copper trim on Château ranges is a combination of solid Copper pieces and Copper-coated Brass. The intricate trim pieces such as the rail brackets, decorate oven pulls, and hinges are all Copper-coated Brass. The remainder of Copper trim is solid Copper. All Copper pieces will patina naturally and without polish will continue to darken over time, much like a US penny.

Gas Lava-rock Grill: Turn on overhead ventilation prior to cleaning; turn burner to high and scour grates with a wire brush, which will release any debris that will be burned off. Foil-liner may be placed under the Grill in the drip tray and this may be changed as frequently as desired. Lava-rocks may be replaced as desired; a large bag is supplied with each range but replacements may be purchased at any BBQ store or through La Cornue Parts – (800) 821-0244 x239.
