CARE & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
The entire Cooktop can be safely cleaned by wiping with a soapy sponge, then rinsing and drying.
If stubborn soil remains, follow the recommended cleaning methods below.
CAUTION:
Before cleaning, be certain the burners are turned off and the grates are cool.
Always use the mildest cleaner that will do the job.
Use clean, soft cloths, sponges or paper towels.
Rub stainless steel finishes in the direction of the grain. Wipe area dry to avoid water marks.
Do not clean removable cooktop parts in any self-cleaning oven.
After cleaning, place all parts in their proper positions before using cooktop.
