Maintenance
Door outer side
• Outer surface: Follow the cleaning instructions for the stainless steel surface in
the previous section.

CAUTION
Do not let moisture enter the door or
contact the door gasket. Moisture may
reduce the gasket's performance.
1. Pull knobs off the control valve stems.
2. Clean the knobs in warm, soapy water.
Then, rinse and dry them thoroughly.
3. Clean the stainless steel surfaces using
stainless steel cleaner.
4. Re-attach the knobs to the control valve
stems.
Cooktop surface
The porcelain-enameled cooktop surface needs to be kept clean. We recommend
that you remove food spills immediately after they take place.
CAUTION
• Do not use a steel-wool pad or abrasive cleaner, which can scratch or damage the
enamel surface.
• Do not remove the cooktop surface to clean it. The gas lines leading to the burner
manifolds can be damaged, resulting in a fire or system failure.
• Do not pour water into the cooktop well while cleaning the cooktop. This could
leak down into the range gas and electrical systems creating a risk of electrical
shock or high levels of carbon monoxide due to corrosion of the gas valves or
ports.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Clean vents frequently to avoid grease
buildup.
1. Turn off all surface burners.
2. Wait until all burner grates cool down,
and then remove them.
3. Clean the cooktop surface using a soft
cloth. If food spills run into gaps of the
burner components, remove the burner
cap and the head, and wipe up the spills.
4. When cleaning is finished, reinsert the
burner components, and then put the
burner grates back into position.
