   General Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and 
the grill is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning 
products.
For routine cleaning, wash with soap and water using a soft cloth 
or sponge. Rinse with clean water and dry at once with a soft, lint-
free cloth to avoid spots and streaks.
Never use steel wool to clean the grill, as it will scratch the 
surface.

   Exterior
The quality of this material resists most stains and pitting, 
providing that the surface is kept clean and protected. 
•  Apply stainless steel polish to all non-cooking areas before fi rst 
use. Re-apply after each cleaning to prevent permanent damage 
to surface. 
Use vinyl grill cover, available from your local dealer, to protect 
fi nish from weather. See “Accessories” section.
   Stainless Steel
IMPORTANT: Do not use soap-fi lled scouring pads, abrasive 
cleaners, Cooktop Polishing Creme, steel wool, gritty wash cloths 
or paper towels.
Cleaners should not contain chlorine.  Damage may occur. 
Rub in direction of grain to avoid scratching or damaging the 
surface.
Food spills should be cleaned as soon as entire grill is cool. Spills 
may cause permanent discoloration.
•  Use Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish (Part No. 4396095). See 
“Requesting Assistance or Service” section to order.
•  Use a mild liquid detergent or all-purpose cleaner according to 
label instructions.
•  Rinse with clean water and dry at once with soft, lint-free cloth to 
avoid spots and streaks.
•  Use vinegar to remove hard water spots. Rinse with water and 
dry thoroughly. 
•  Use a glass cleaner to remove fi ngerprints.
    
Grill grates
IMPORTANT: Never use a steel or fi ber scraper on grill grates.
Immediately after you are fi nished cooking, loosen food soil with a 
brass bristle brush. Turn all burners to “HI” for 10-15 minutes with 
the hood closed to burn off food soil. Turn off all burners, raise the 
hood and let grates cool. Use the brass bristle brush to remove 
ash from the grill grates.
When completely cool, grill racks can be removed for thorough 
cleaning. Clean them with a mild detergent and warm water.
For baked-on soil, prepare a solution of 1 cup (250 mL) ammonia 
to 1 gallon (3.75 L) water. Soak grates for 20 minutes, then rinse 
with water and dry completely. 
   Warming Shelf
•  Use a mild liquid detergent (such as a dish detergent) or an all-
purpose cleaner, following the label instructions. Rinse with clean 
water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.
•  For tough spots or baked-on grease, use Whirlpool Degreaser 
(Part No. 31552), a commercial degreaser designed for stainless 
steel. See “Requesting Assistance or Service” section to order.
