Exterior Porcelain Enameled Surfaces:

 

  • Cleaning Methods: Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner or nonabrasive scrubbing pad. Dry with clean cloth to avoid spotting.
  • Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills may affect the finish.
  • When cleaning around the model and serial number plate, clean gently because scrubbing may remove numbers.


Stainless Steel Surfaces:

 

  • Cleaning Methods: Liquid detergent or all-purpose cleaner: Rinse well with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth. Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish can also be used.
  • Use vinegar for hard water spots.
  • Do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, Cooktop Polishing Cream, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths or some paper towels. Damage may occur, even with one-time or limited use.
  • Rub in direction of grain to avoid damaging or scratching the stainless.
