General Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions
on cleaning products.
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless
otherwise noted.

Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should
be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills
may affect the finish.

pad:
Gently clean around the model and serial number plate
because scrubbing may remove numbers.

COOKTOP CONTROLS
To avoid damage to the cooktop controls, do not use steel wool,
abrasive cleansers or oven cleaner.

When replacing knobs, make sure knobs are in the Off position.
On some models, do not remove seals under knobs.

■ Warm, soapy water:
Pull knobs straight away from control panel to remove.

cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths or abrasive paper
towels.

PORCELAIN-COATED GRATES AND CAPS
Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should
be cleaned as soon as the cooktop, grates and caps are cool.
These spills may affect the finish.
To avoid chipping, do not bang grates and caps against each
other or hard surfaces such as cast iron cookware.
Do not reassemble caps on burners while they are wet.
Cleaning Method:
■ Nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mildly abrasive
cleanser:
Clean as soon as cooktop, grates and caps are cool.

GRIDDLE (on some models)
Oil or food residue should be cleaned as soon as the cooktop
and the griddle are cool. Do not allow grease to accumulate
under the griddle.
Cleaning the griddle in dishwasher can damage the nonstick
coating.
The use of abrasive cleaners, steel-wood pads or other abrasive
scrubbing pads can damage the nonstick coating.
Cleaning Method:
■ Wipe with a dry soft cloth or soft paper towels to remove food
particles.
■ Warm, soapy water or other cleaner safe for nonstick pans.
■ Soft cloth or sponge.
If the griddle is washed, it will need to be coated again with
vegetable oil to preserve the nonstick finish as well as the
durability of the griddle.
