Cleaning the Cooktop

Control Panel and Knobs

Wipe the control panel after each use of the oven with
a damp cloth. For cleaning, use mild soap and water or
a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Rinse with clean
water. Polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers,
plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control
panel—they will damage the finish.
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
Soft Cleanser™ will remove surface rust, tarnish and
small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit
and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp,
soft sponge.

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
mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and
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.
Cleaning the Surface Burners
Turn all controls off. Allow the cooktop to cool before removing grates and burner parts. When removing the burner
caps and heads, remember their size and location. Replace them in the same location after cleaning.

To inquire about purchasing cleaning products
including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish,
read the Assistance/Accessories sections at the
beginning of this manual.
For easier cleaning, the control knobs may be removed
by pulling them directly outwards once the knobs are in
the OFF position. Do not pull knobs up or down or hang
objects on them. This can damage the gas valve shaft.
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 inward until
the knob is securely
fastened. All knobs are
interchangeable
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.
If your model has a stainless steel cooktop surface,
refer to the Stainless Steel Surface cleaning instructions
featured in the Control Panel and Knobs section.
