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.
OR
•
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.
•
Wash with a sponge and warm, soapy water. Wipe with clean water and
dry well.
•
Use a nonabrasive, plastic scrubbing pad on heavily soiled areas.
•
Do not use gritty or harsh cleansers, which can damage the finish.
NOTE: Do not let foods containing acids (such as vinegar, tomato, or lemon
juice) 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 serial number plate; too much scrubbing could
remove the numbers.

Wash the grates with a nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and warm,
soapy water. Rinse and dry well. For stubborn stains, clean with a scrubbing

as needed.
