Cooktop Surfaces
Several different finishes have been used in your cooktop. Cleaning
instructions for each surface are given below. NEVER USE AMMONIA,
STEEL WOOL PADS OR ANY ABRASIVE CLOTHS AND MATERIALS
SUCH AS CLEANSERS, OVEN CLEANERS, OR ABRASIVE POWDERS.
THEY CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR COOKTOP.
Control Panel
DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia, abrasives or stainless
steel cleaners on any surface that contains graphics. These products
could remove the graphics from the control panel. Apply hot, soapy
water to a soft clean cloth. DO NOT spray liquids directly onto the
control panel.
Control Knobs
MAKE SURE ALL CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE “OFF” POSITION
BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off. Wash in detergent and
warm water. Dry completely and replace by pushing firmly onto stem.
Stainless Steel Parts
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot, soapy
water at the end of each cooling period and with a liquid cleaner
designed for that material when soapy water will not do the job.
DO NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders. If
necessary, scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak
the area with hot towels to loosen the material, then use a wooden
or nylon spatula or scraper. DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or
any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel. DO NOT permit citrus
or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surface, as citric acid will
permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.
