CARE & CLEANING
CAUTION:
➢ Be sure appliance is off and all
parts are cool before handling or
cleaning. This is to avoid damage
and possible burns.
➢ To prevent staining or discol-
oration, clean appliance after each
use.
➢ If a part is removed, be sure it is
correctly replaced.
BROILER PAN & INSERT
Never cover insert with aluminum foil
as this prevents the fat from draining to
the pan below.
➢ Place soapy cloth over insert and
pan; let soak to loosen soil.
➢ Wash in warm soapy water. Use
soap filled scouring pad to remove
stubborn soil.
➢ Broiler pan and insert can be
cleaned in dishwasher.
BURNER GRATES
➢ Wash grates with warm, soapy water
and a nonabrasive, plastic scrubbing
pad or in the dishwasher. For stub-
born soils, clean with a soap-filled,
nonabrasive pad or sponge and a
commercial Cooktop
Creme. (Part #20000001.)**
➢ For burned on soils, remove grates,
place on newspapers and carefully
spray with commercial oven cleaner.
(Do not spray surrounding surfaces.)
Place in plastic bags for several
hours or overnight. Wearing rubber
gloves, remove from bags. Wash,
rinse, dry and replace on cooktop.

water, rinse and dry. Never wipe a
warm or hot surface with a damp
cloth as this may damage the sur-
face and may cause a steam burn.
➢ For stubborn soil, use mildly abra-
sive cleaning agents such as bak-
ing soda paste or Bon Ami*. Do not
use abrasive cleaners such as
steel wool pads or oven cleaners.
These products will scratch or per-
manently damage the surface.

up spills, especially acidic or sugary
spills. Surface may discolor or dull if
soil is not immediately removed. This
is especially important for white sur-
faces.

➢ Clean frequently using mild abra-
sive and a plastic pad.
➢ Do not use metallic scouring pads
because they will scratch the sur-

milk based foods) as soon as pos-
sible with soap and water. If the
spill is not wiped up, it may discolor
