Control Knobs and Control Panel Seal
After grilling there may be soot on the
knobs and control panel seal. This soot
can be removed by scrubbing with a
plastic scrubber and mild dishwashing
detergent. The control knobs may
be removed for cleaning.
To remove a knob, pull it straight up.
Wash the knobs in soap and water but
do not soak. Avoid getting water down
into the knob stem holes.
Wipe with a sponge, damp cloth or
paper towel. Do not scrub with steel
wool pads or abrasive cleansers.
To replace a knob, match the flat part
of the knob opening with the flat side
of the shaft.

Before Cleaning
Before cleaning any part of your
cooktop, be sure all controls are off
and DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER
TO THE COOKTOP at the fuse box or
circuit breaker panel, or pull the cooktop power plug, located beneath
the cooktop and inside the cabinets.
Do not operate the cooktop without all
parts in place.
Grease Jar
A grease jar is located below the grill
basin pan under the countertop. Check
periodically to prevent spillovers.
Unscrew and remove. If the jar is broken, replace with any
heat tempered jar, such as a canning
jar, that has a wide mouth screw neck.
Porcelain Cooktop
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy
but breakable if misused. This finish is
acid-resistant. However, any acidic foods
spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or
vinegar) should not be permitted to
remain on the finish.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is
hot, use a dry paper towel to wipe it
up right away. When the surface has
cooled, wash with soap and water or
cleansing powders. Rinse well.
For other spills, such as fat spatterings,
wash with soap and water or cleansing
powders after the surface has cooled.
Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
1. Shake bottle well.
2. Place a small amount of CERAMA
BRYTE ® Stainless Steel Cleaner on a
damp cloth or damp paper towel.
3. Clean a small area (approximately
8
″ x 8″), rubbing with the grain of
the stainless steel if applicable.
4. Dry and buff with a clean, dry paper
towel or soft cloth.
5. Repeat as necessary.
NOTE: If a mineral oil-based stainless steel
appliance cleaner has been used before to clean
the appliance, wash the surface with dish soap
and water prior to using the CERAMA BRYTE
®
Stainless Steel Appliance Cleaner. After washing
the surface with dish soap and water, use a
generous amount of CERAMA BRYTE
® Stainless
Steel Appliance Cleaner to clean the appliance.
