Cleaning and care
34
Rangetop
The surfaces of the burner compo-
nents and grates will slightly lose their
luster over time. This is completely
normal and does not indicate damage
to the material.
Clean the entire rangetop after each
use with a soft sponge, warm water
and a small amount of liquid dish
soap.
Pre-soak any stubborn dirt or grime
before cleaning.
Dry the rangetop after using water to
clean it. This helps prevent lime de-
posits.
Tip:
Food that has cooked over onto a
hot rangetop can cause the burner
components to become discolored. Im-
mediately remove all spilled food and all
salt or sugar splatters!
Dishwasher-safe grates
Remove the burner grates.
Clean the grates in the dishwasher or
using a soft sponge with warm water
and a small amount of liquid dish
soap.
If necessary, the rough side of a
kitchen sponge can be used.
Burner control knobs with stainless
steel finish
The burner control knobs may be-
come discolored if they are not
cleaned regularly.
Do not clean the burner control
knobs in a dishwasher or with a
stainless steel cleaner.
Clean the knobs with a soft sponge,
warm water and a small amount of
liquid dish soap.
Simmer burner / Power burners
The burner cap is not dishwasher-
safe.
Make sure that the flame holes are
completely dry after cleaning.
Remove the burner cap.
Clean the burner cap using a soft
sponge, warm water and a small
amount of liquid dish soap.
All parts of the burner which cannot
be removed should be wiped down
with a damp cloth.
Ignitor
Do not allow the ignitor to become
wet. If it is wet, it will not spark.
Gently wipe down the ignitor clean
using a damp cloth.
