CLEANING AGENTS
Wash with soap and water, rinse and dry. Do not remove door gasket.
DO NOT USE ANY CLEANING PRODUCT CONTAINING
CHLORINE BLEACH.
ALWAYS WIPE WITH THE GRAIN WHEN CLEANING.
Wash with soap and water. Use a glass cleaner and a soft cloth to
remove finger marks or smudges. Use cleansing powders or plastic
scouring pad to remove moderate/heavy soils. Rinse and dry. Do not
use oven cleaners, abrasive or caustic agents. They will damage the
finish.
NOTE: For discoloration, use a stainless steel cleaner and a soft cloth.
Rinse immediately and dry.
For ease of cleaning, clean burners each time the cooktop is used with
warm soapy water. If a boilover occurs, remove pan to another burner;
cool burner and clean. To remove stubborn soil, use a dry cloth and
mildly abrasive cleanser. Use care to prevent cleaner from clogging
ports. Burner must be dry before use.
NOTE: Yellow tipping or distortion of the flame may occur until the
burner is completely dry.
Clean burner ports with a straight pin or small metal paper clip. Do not
enlarge or distort ports. Do not use a wooden toothpick as it may break
off and clog port. If ports are clogged or soiled, the burner may not light
properly or the flame may not be even.
Sealed burner can not be removed by the consumer. When cleaning
burner, use care to prevent damage to the ignitor. Surface burner will
not light properly if ignitor is damaged, broken, soiled, or wet. When
cleaning the ports, be sure to clean the port directly below the ignitor.
For ease of cleaning, remove soil from the burner as soon as burner
has cooled. If food boils over, remove pan to another burner. Then,
cool soiled burner and clean.
Clean, when cool, after each use with warm soapy water. Remove
stubborn soil by scouring with a non-abrasive plastic scouring pad and
a paste of baking soda and water. Clean ports with a straight pin. Do
not enlarge or distort the ports. Do not use a wooden toothpick. It may
break off and clog port. Surface burners can be dried in the oven set at
170 F. Burner must be dry before use.
