Rub stainless steel finishes in the direction of the grain.

Before cleaning, be certain the burners are turned off
and the grates and burners are cool.

After cleaning, place all parts in their proper positions
before using cooktop.

WD-40.
CAUTION:
Do not touch any of the burners when the
cooktop is in use.
