Sealed Burner Top/Burner Bowls

After cooking, always wipe down burner bowls and the sealed burner top with hot, soapy water and a soft cloth. If spots still occur, use

Soft Scrub cleanser (without bleach) with a blue Scotch-Brite pad. Careful, Scotch-Brite can cause scratches on the porcelain surface if

scrubbed too abrasively.

After cooking, always wipe down grates and burner caps with a damp sponge and

dry thoroughly. Normal cleaning can be done with hot, soapy water and/or Soft

Scrub cleanser (without bleach) with a blue Scotch-Brite pad. If stubborn spots still

occur, then use Easy-Off Fume Free Max Oven Cleaner (see first bullet below).

Procedure for oven cleaner use: Take grates and burner caps off unit – move outside and

place on newspaper. Spray with Easy-Off, let cleaner sit on spotted areas for 1 – 2 hours.

Clean off with hot, soapy water.

When cleaning grates and burner caps, make sure to thoroughly dry them, especial-

ly underneath. If the bottom portion does not totally dry before setting them back

on the cooking surface, they may rust. You can also set the grates and burner caps

on top of the burner and turn the burner on high for ten to fifteen seconds for extra

drying. To prevent rusting and discoloration, do not submerge grates in water to

soak for any length of time or run them through the dishwasher. If rust does occur, Bar Keeper’s Friend and a blue Scotch-Brite pad will

remove it. To condition grates and burner caps, apply a light coating of mineral oil or vegetable oil. Allow oil to soak in 15 minutes

before returning grates or burner caps to cooking surface.

Burner Bases

The base should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water at the end of each cooling period. DO NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths,

cleanser, or powders. To remove encrusted materials, soak the area with a hot towel to loosen the material, then use a wooden nylon

spatula. DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape the aluminum base.

(sealed and open burners)

Brass Trim

Using a soft cloth, wash with warm, soapy water only. All brass parts are coated with an epoxy coating. Do not use brass cleaners or

any all-purpose cleaner.

Knobs

Remove from unit and clean with hot, soapy water and a soft cloth. Scrub gently; do

not soak. Use of abrasive cleaners or ammonia-based products could possibly remove

the graphics. The white knobs are tougher to clean – 409 Professional Strength works

well. Dry thoroughly before replacing.

Control Panel

Only use hot, soapy water and a soft cloth. Use of abrasive cleaners or ammonia-

based products on the control panel could possibly remove the graphics.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

For everyday use, start with hot, soapy water and a soft cloth. Wipe dry. Finish with

a damp micro-fiber cloth. Make sure to rub in the direction of the grain/brushed fin-

ish. If anything acidic lands on it (lemon, tomato sauce, etc.) clean up immediately

because it will stain.

For optimum appearance use a stainless steel cleaner to remove smudges and fingerprints

and follow up with a polish such as Thor (www.thorproducts.com) to make unit shine. Cleaner

and polish should not be used daily. Once every couple of weeks should be adequate.
