Cleaning and Maintenance
Cooktop
Daily Cleaning
The entire Cooktop can be safely cleaned by wiping with a
soapy sponge, then rinsing and drying. If stubborn soil
remains, follow the recommended cleaning methods below.
• Always use the mildest cleaner that will do the job. Use
clean, soft cloths, sponges or paper towels.
• Rub stainless steel finishes in the direction of the grain.
Wipe area dry to avoid water marks.
• Before cleaning, be certain the burners are turned off
and the grates and burners are cool.
• Do not clean removable cooktop parts in any self-
cleaning oven.
• After cleaning, place all parts in their proper positions
before using cooktop.
• For proper burner performance, keep igniters clean
and dry.
• Keep the ignitor ports clean for proper lighting
performance of the burners. It is necessary to clean
these when there is a boilover or when the burner does
not light even though the electronic ignitors click.
• Do not use flammable cleansers such as lighter fluid or
WD-40.
