Grates/Burner Caps
(open and sealed burners)
soak for any length of time or run them through the dishwasher. If rust does occur, Bar Keeper’s Friend and a blue Scotch-Brite pad will
remove it. To condition grates and burner caps, apply a light coating of mineral oil or vegetable oil. Allow oil to soak in 15 minutes
before returning grates or burner caps to cooking surface.
The aluminum base below the sealed burner cap gets extremely hot during cooking, therefore splatters will stain quickly. After unit has
cooled to a safe temperature, follow the instructions accordingly:
• Remove burner cap.
• Use Barkeeper’s Friend or Liquid Zud with warm water and a soft terry cloth.
• Clean the burner base using medium pressure.
• Rinse with warm water and a sponge.
• Dry thoroughly.

crub cleanser (without bleach) with a blue Scotch-Brite pad. If stubborn spots still

occur, then use Easy-Off Fume Free Max Oven Cleaner (see first bullet below).
Procedure for oven cleaner use: Take grates and burner caps off unit – move outside and
place on newspaper. Spray with Easy-Off, let cleaner sit on spotted areas for 1 – 2 hours.
Clean off with hot, soapy water.
When cleaning grates and burner caps, make sure to thoroughly dry them, especially underneath. If the bottom portion does not totally dry before setting them back
on the cooking surface, they may rust. You can also set the grates and burner caps
on top of the burner and turn the burner on high for ten to fifteen seconds for extra
drying. To prevent rusting and discoloration, do not submerge grates in water to
Burner Bowls/Grate Supports
After cooking, always wipe down burner bowls and grate supports with hot, soapy water and a soft cloth. If spots still occur, use Soft
Scrub cleanser (without bleach) with a blue Scotch-Brite pad. Careful, Scotch-Brite can cause scratches on the porcelain surface if
scrubbed too abrasively.
Knobs
Remove from unit and clean with hot, soapy water and a soft cloth. Scrub gently; do
not soak. Use of abrasive cleaners or ammonia-based products could possibly remove
the graphics. The white knobs are tougher to clean – 409 Professional Strength works
well. Dry thoroughly before replacing.
Control Panel
Only use hot, soapy water and a soft cloth. Use of abrasive cleaners or ammoniabased pr
oducts on the control panel could possibly remove the graphics.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
For everyday use, start with hot, soapy water and a soft cloth. Wipe dry. Finish with
a damp micro-fiber cloth. Make sure to rub in the direction of the grain/brushed finish. If anything acidic lands on it (lemon, tomato sauce, etc.) clean up immediately
because it will stain.
For optimum appearance use a stainless steel cleaner to remove smudges and fingerprints
and follow up with a polish such as Thor (www.thorproducts.com) to make unit shine. Cleaner
and polish should not be used daily. Once every couple of weeks should be adequate.
Brass Trim
Using a soft cloth, wash with warm, soapy water only. All brass parts are coated with an epoxy coating. Do not use brass cleaners or
any all-purpose cleaner.
Oven Interior
All ovens should be cleaned frequently with hot, soapy water.
Non self-cleaning ovens
• Oven door: For non self-cleaning ovens, use Easy-Off Fume Free Max Oven Cleaner. Apply oven cleaner with a damp sponge.
• Oven racks and rack supports: Clean with hot, soapy water or Soft Scrub cleanser. Remove before self-cleaning.
• Oven interior surfaces: Use Easy-Off Fume Free Max Oven Cleaner. Follow manufacturer’s directions. For self-cleaning ovens,
emove oven racks and rack supports and follow self-clean instructions in the Use and Care Manual.

• Never line the oven cavity with aluminum foil. It will melt on and permanently damage the surface.
Self-cleaning ovens
• Oven interior surfaces: Remove oven racks and rack supports and follow self-cleaning instructions in the Use and Care Manual.
• The infrared broiler should never be cleaned. Any cleaner can damage the special mesh screen and/or the igniter.
• Never line the oven cavity with aluminum foil. It will melt on and permanently damage the surface.
Char-Grill
This cleans most efficiently while still hot.
Grill grate: May be cleaned immediately after cooking is complete and before turning off the
flame. Use a soft bristle brush to scrub the grill grate. Dip the brush frequently into a bowl of
water. Steam is created as the water contacts the hot grate. The steam assists the cleaning
process by softening the food particles. For thorough cleaning of the grill grate, use grill cleaner according to manufacturer’s directions and then soak 15 to 20 minutes in a hot water and
mild detergent solution. After soaking, scrub with a blue Scotch-Brite pad. Do not use a steel
wool pad or abrasive cleaners, for risk of damaging the porcelain finish. Dry thoroughly.
Flavor-generator plates: Scrape off all burned on debris. Soak 15-20 minutes in a hot water
and mild detergent solution. After soaking, scrub with a blue Scotch-Brite pad. Flavor-generator plates are also dishwasher safe.

First time use: Scrub griddle with mixture of one quart warm water and
blue Scotch-Brite pad. Dry thoroughly. Wash griddle with warm, soapy water. Rinse off and dry thoroughly. Season griddle by thinly coating the surface with approximately
vegetable oil. Apply to entire griddle using a paper towel or clean cloth. Let oil sit on griddle for
about one hour and then wipe down with a clean cloth to soak up any residual oil. The griddle is now
ready to be used.
• It is not necessary to wash your griddle after every use. When light cooking is performed, simply
wipe down the surface with a clean cloth or paper towel. The oils in the food in which was
cooked on the surface will naturally season the griddle.
