The burner box is located under the lift-up cooktop. Clean frequently to

damage the finish. To clean remove grates and surface burners and clean
with soap and water, rinse and dry.

scratch the finish and remove the markings.

NOTE: Use dry towel or cloth to wipe up spills, especially acid (milk, lemon
juice, fruit, mustard, tomato sauce) or sugary spills. Surface may discolor or
dull if soil is not immediately removed. This is especially important for white
surfaces.
1. When cool, wash with warm soapy water, rinse and dry. Never wipe a
warm or hot surface with a damp cloth as this may damage the surface
and may cause a steam burn.

soda paste or Bon Ami.

pads or oven cleaners. These products will scratch or permanently
damage the surface.
