on the 5 burner model.
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the cooktop is cool. Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first
unless otherwise noted. Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon the cooktop is cool. These spills
may affect the finish.
Surface Type Cleaning Recommendation
Control Knobs The knobs should be cleaned with soap and water or in the dishwasher.
To remove the knobs, be sure the knobs are in the OFF position.
Do not remove the seals under the knobs.
Burner Grates

Dishwasher: The grates may be cleaned in the dishwasher. Remove any burnt on food prior to placing the grates inthe
lowest rack in the dishwasher.
To avoid chipping, do not bang grates against each other or hard surfaces, such as cast iron cookware. Although the grates
are durable, they will gradually lose their shine due to exposure to high temperatures.
Burner Caps Use a nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mildly abrasive cleanser, soap and water.
Do not place caps in the dishwasher or reassemble caps on burners when wet.
Burner Base The holes in the burner bases must be kept clean for proper ignition and a complete, even flame.
Refer to "Cleaning the Burners: Tips" in the "Key Usage" section.
Porcelain Enamel Use a nonabrasive scrubbing pad and glass cleanser or a mild liquid cleaner, such as affresh ®Kitchen and Appliance
Cooktop Surface Cleaner, Part Number W10355010.

Cooktop Surface
For best results, use a soft cloth or non-scratch sponge.
