Cleaning the Cooktop
Cooktop Surface
Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong
liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or
cleaning powders on the cooktop surface. Clean with a
water. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at
room temperature and not in direct sunlight.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and
basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration
and should be wiped up as soon as hot surfaces cool,
then clean and rinse.
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy
water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe
the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner
instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend
and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp,
soft sponge.

including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish,

Cleaning Knobs
For easier cleaning, the control knobs may be removed
by pulling them directly upwards once the knobs are in
the OFF position. The knobs can be washed by hand
with soap and water or in a dishwasher.
To replace knobs after cleaning, align the hole on the knob
backside with the gas valve shaft and push downward
until the knob is securely fastened. All knobs are
interchangeable except control lockout (on some models).
Pull the knob straight up off the stem.
