CLEANING
VARIOUS
PARTS
OF YOUR
COOKTOP
Before cleaning any part of the cooktop, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the cooktop is COOL. REMOVE
SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANING WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF
MAJOR CLEANING LATER.

liquids directly on the control pad and display area. Do not use large amounts of
water on the control panel - excess water on the control area may cause damage to
the appliance. Do not use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring
pads, or
some paper towels - they will damage the finish.
Control Panel
Wipe the control panel clean after each use. Before cleaning the control panel, turn
all controls to OFF and remove the control knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight
off the shaft. Clean using hot, soapy water and a cloth. Be sure to squeeze excess
water from the cloth before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the
controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance.
To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft;
then push the knob into place.

Surface Burners
The holes in the burners of your cooktop must be kept clean at all times for proper
ignition and a complete, even flame. Clean the burner holes routinely with a small
gauge wire or needle and especially after bad spillovers which could clog these
holes.
To remove and replace burner units per your model, see instructions under General
Cleaning.
To clean, soak the burners in a 1:1 solution of ammonia and water for
30 to 40 minutes. For stubborn stains, scrub with soap and water or a mild abrasive

cleanser and damp cloth. Dry the burners thoroughly in a warm oven for 30 minutes.

Then replace them, making sure they are seaLed and level. DO NOT wash burner
