Do not operate the cooktop without all parts in place. Control Knobs and Control Panel Seal After grilling there may be soot on the knobs and control panel seal. This soot can be removed by scrubbing with a plastic scrubber and mild dishwashing detergent. The control knobs may be removed for cleaning. To remove a knob, pull it straight up. Wash the knobs in soap and water but do not soak. Avoid getting water down into the knob stem holes. Wipe with a sponge, damp cloth or paper towel. Do not scrub with steel wool pads or abrasive cleansers. To replace a knob, match the flat part of the knob opening with the flat side of the shaft. Grease Jar A grease jar is located below the grill basin pan under the countertop. Check periodically to prevent spillovers. Unscrew and remove. If the jar is broken, replace with any heat tempered jar, such as a canning jar, that has a wide mouth screw neck. Porcelain Cooktop The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if misused. This finish is acid-resistant. However, any acidic foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the finish. If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry paper towel to wipe it up right away. When the surface has cooled, wash with soap and water or cleansing powders. Rinse well. For other spills, such as fat spatterings, wash with soap and water or cleansing powders after the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
