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.
