Care Recommendations
STAINLESS STEEL EXTERIOR
Rangetop exterior, riser and trim.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners; they will permanently
scratch stainless steel surfaces. Salt and some
cooking liquids may pit and stain the surface. Remove
these spills immediately.
• Use a spray degreaser to remove fingerprints and
greasy spatters. Spray on a cloth and wipe the surface.
Buff dry immediately to avoid streaking. For hard water
stains, use white vinegar and water.
• For general cleaning, use a soft, nonabrasive stainless
steel cleaner like Signature polish and apply with a soft
lint-free cloth. To bring out the natural luster, lightly
wipe the surface with a water-dampened microfiber
cloth followed by a dry polishing chamois. All work
should follow the grain direction of the finish. Better
results are obtained by keeping the cloth in continuous
contact with the stainless steel.
• Signature polish is available from Signature Limited
Laboratory, P. O. Box 13436, Dayton, Ohio 45413, or
call 877-376-5474.
GENERAL CLEANING
Burner drip pan.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners; they will permanently
scratch porcelain enamel surfaces. Use a clean cloth
or sponge and wipe the surface with warm water and a
mild detergent. Rinse and dry immediately.
Burner grates.
• Remove burner grates and clean with a nonabrasive
cleaner such as liquid detergent in hot water or a paste
of baking soda and water. Spray degreasers and mild
abrasive cleaners may be used.
Burner base.
• Wash in warm water and liquid detergent or mild
abrasive cleaner. Rinse and dry.
Spark igniters.
• Keep dry; never spray water or cleaner directly on the
igniter. When cleaning surface burners, avoid contact
with the igniter.
Control knobs.
• Wipe control knobs with a damp cloth and mild deter-
gent and water; rinse and dry. Do not soak the knobs
or use abrasive cleaners, they will scratch the finish
and remove markings.

soils. Spray on a cloth and wipe the panel. Do not
spray directly on the panel around valve stems.
