MAINTENANCE
Control Panel
To prevent activating the control panel during cleaning,
unplug the range. Clean up splatters with a damp
cloth using a glass cleaner. Remove heavier soil with
warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasives of any kind.
CAUTION
Do not use the cooktop at high temperatures for
an excessive period as the control panel could be
damaged.
NOTE
When spraying on the glass surface, intermittent
touch operation is possible.
Front Manifold Panel and Knobs
Clean the knobs and manifold panel after each use. For
best results, use a damp cloth and mild soapy water or
a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Rinse using clean
water and immediately dry and polish with a soft cloth.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the finish on the knobs and
manifold panel, do not use abrasive cleaners,
strong liquid cleaners, plastic scouring pads or
oven cleaners.
Do not try to bend the knobs by pulling them up
or down, and do not hang a towel or other object
on them. Doing so can damage the gas valve shaft.
The control knobs may be removed for easy
cleaning.
To remove the knobs, make sure that they are in
the Off position and pull them straight off the
stems.
To replace the knobs, make sure the knob has
the Off position centered at the top, and slide
the knob directly onto the stem.
Cleaning the Exterior
Painted and Decorative Trim
For general cleaning, use a cloth with hot soapy
water. For more difficult soils and built-up grease,
apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave it
on for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and
dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

cleaner or polish on a damp cloth or paper towel.
2
Clean a small area, rubbing with the grain of the
stainless steel if applicable.
3
Dry and buff with a clean, dry paper towel or soft
cloth.
4

NOTE
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the
