Care and Cleaning
Cleaning Recommendations
Cleaning Recommendation
Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a
clean cloth.
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.
Leave on soil for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a
damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive
cleaners on any of these materials; they can
scratch. To remove control knobs, turn to the OFF
position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the
shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the
flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then
push the knob into place.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls
to OFF and remove the control knobs. To remove,
pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using
hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with a
clean water using a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze
excess water from the cloth before wiping the
panel; especially when wiping around the
controls. Excess water in or around the controls
may cause damage to the appliance.To replace
knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both
the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into
place.
Stainless Steel (some models). Clean the
stainless with warm soapy water using a clean
sponge or cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry
with a soft clean cloth. Do not use harsh
scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that
are especially made for cleaning Stainless Steel.
Always be sure to rinse the cleaners from the
surface as bluish stains may occur during heating
that cannot be removed.
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will
remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of
clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover
difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper
towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water
and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-
filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a
clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain
may become damaged during future heating. Do
not use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop.
