General Cleaning Cleaning Various Parts of Your Cooktop Before cleaning any part of the cooktop, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the cooktop is COOL. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the number of major cleaning later. Surfaces How to Clean Aluminum (Trim Pieces) & Vinyl Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth. Glass, Painted and Plastic Control Knobs, Body Pieces, and Decorative Trim For general cleaning, use hot soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. Control Panel Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using hot, soapy water and a cloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the cloth before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place. Stainless Steel, Chrome Decorative Trim Porcelain Enamel Burner Grates, Burner Pans (some models), Burner Rings (some models), Cooktop Surface Surface Burners Gentle scouring with a soapy nylon pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clean water and ammonia. Cover difficult spots with an ammonia soaked paper towel for 30 minutes, scrub with a nylon pad and rinse with clean water. Cleaners made especially for stainless steel or chrome are recommended. Bluish stains on these materials are caused by overheating and cannot be removed. Remove all cleaners or the finish may be damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop. Gentle scouring with a soapy nylon pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clean water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and damp cloth, then scrub with a soap-filled scoring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop. The holes in the burners of your cooktop must be kept clean at all times for proper ignition and a complete, even flame. Clean the burner holes routinely with a small gauge wire or needle and especially after bad spillovers which could clog these holes. To remove and replace burner units per your model, see instructions under General Cleaning. To clean, soak the burners in a 1:1 solution of ammonia and water for 30 to 40 minutes. For stubborn stains, scrub with soap and water or a mild abrasive cleanser and damp cloth. Dry the burners thoroughly in a warm oven for 30 minutes. Then replace them, making sure they are seated and level. DO NOT wash burner units in the dishwasher. 9
