OUR ANGE
Do not store flammable materials such as gasoline near the cooktop.
Doing so can result in death, explosion, fire, or burns.
HOW TO CLEAN
1.
Turn the knobs off and pull them straight away from the control panel.
2.
Wash the knobs with a sponge and warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry them well.
Do not soak them. Do not use steel wool or gritty cleansers, which can damage
the finish of the knobs.
3.
Replace the knobs. Make sure all knobs are turned off.

Wash the panel with a sponge and warm, soapy water. Wipe the panel with clean
water and dry it well. Do not use steel wool or gritty cleansers, which can
damage the finish.

•
Wash the panel with a paper towel and spray glass cleaner. Do not spray the
cleaner directly on the panel. Apply the cleaner to the paper towel.

remain on the surface. Acids may remove the glossy finish. Also wipe up milk or egg
spills when the cooktop is cool. Be careful when cleaning around the model and
