from all parts. It cannot be removed if it is
baked on.
The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher
or they may also be washed with soap and
water. Make sure the insides of the knobs
are dry before replacing.
Replace the knobs in the OFF position to
ensure proper placement.
Be careful not to push in any cooktop
controls while cleaning the cooktop. A
slight electrical shock might result which
could cause you to knock over hot
cookware.
Wash burner parts with an all-purpose
non-abrasive cleaner and warm water.
Soak stubborn soil. Dry them with a cloth—
do not reassemble while wet.
To reassemble, replace the burner head
first, then the burner cap and finally the
burner grate. Be sure the pins in the burner
head are properly located in the burner
base holes.
