(on some models)

Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should 
be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills 
may affect the finish.

■

Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner or nonabrasive scrubbing 
pad:

Gently clean around the model and serial number plate 
because scrubbing may remove numbers.

abrasive cleansers or oven cleaner.

To avoid damage, do not soak knobs. 

When replacing knobs, make sure knobs are in the Off position.

On some models, do not remove seals under knobs.

■

Warm, soapy water:

Pull knobs straight away from control panel to remove.

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.

other or hard surfaces such as cast iron cookware.

GRIDDLE (on some models)

Oil or food residue should be cleaned as soon as the cooktop 
and the griddle are cool. Do not allow grease to accumulate 
under the griddle.

Cleaning the griddle in dishwasher can damage the nonstick 
coating.

The use of abrasive cleaners, steel-wood pads or other abrasive 
scrubbing pads can damage the nonstick coating.

■

Wipe with a dry soft cloth or soft paper towels to remove food 
particles.

■

Warm, soapy water or other cleaner safe for nonstick pans.

■

Soft cloth or sponge.

If the griddle is washed, it will need to be coated again with 
vegetable oil to preserve the nonstick finish as well as the 
durability of the griddle.

See “Surface Burners” section.

■

Glass cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge:
Apply glass cleaner to soft cloth or sponge, not directly on 
panel.

Food spills should be cleaned when oven cools.  At high 
temperatures, foods react with porcelain and staining, etching, 
pitting or faint white spots can result.
