If stubborn soil remains, follow the recommended cleaning methods below. Cleaning recommendations: ▯ 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. ▯ Before cleaning, be certain the burners are turned off and the grates and burners are cool. ▯ Do not clean removable cooktop parts in any self cleaning oven. ▯ After cleaning, place all parts in their proper positions before using cooktop. ▯ For proper burner performance, keep igniters clean and dry. ▯ Keep the igniter ports clean for proper lighting performance of the burners.
