For additional information, you can visit our website at www.whirlpool.com. Soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted. SURFACE BURNERS Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the cooktop, grates, and caps are cool. These spills may affect the finish. To avoid chipping, do not bang grates and caps against each other or hard surfaces such as cast iron cookware.
