it is to clean. See each component’s section in this
guide for specific instructions.
Brushed Stainless Steel Finish
Wash with soap and water. For heavy soils, first cover
with a damp cloth and let soak 30 minutes. A stainless
steel cleaner may be used.
To remove fingerprints, apply a little baby oil or
cooking oil with a cloth or paper towel. Rub in the
same direction as the brush marks in the stainless
steel finish.
Cleaning methods described above may prove
ineffective. Stubborn baked-on food residue or stains
on the stainless steel surfaces can be removed by
using pad-type oven cleaners. For your safety, use
extreme caution. Oven cleaners are caustic and can
damage or discolor most other surfaces.
Do not use spray-type oven cleaners. Overspray will
damage nearby surfaces. Use newspaper and masking
tape to cover surfaces such as back wall, control
panel, range sides, countertop, etc. Remove gates,
grill element, porcelain enamel drip pan or ~tiddle.
Control Panel and Knobs
Clean up any spills or spatters with a damp cloth.
Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water.
Clean the control panel with mild liquid dish
detergent and a soft cloth. Rub the control panel
lightly.
CAUTION: Do not use abrasives of any kind
on the control panel.
The control knobs may be removed for
easier cleaning.
To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem.
Wash the knobs in soap and water but do not soak.
Do not allow water to run down inside the surface of
the panel while cleaning. After drying, return the
knobs to the cooktop, making sure to match the flat
area on the knob to the shaft.
