Cleaning and heating for the
first time
This appliance must be cleaned before
using for the first time.
^ Wash the gas burner assembly in a
mild solution of water and liquid dish
soap. Wipe dry and reassemble them
in the proper order (see the "Cleaning
and care" section).
^ Wipe the cooktop with a damp cloth
and dry thoroughly.
Metal components have a protective
coating which may give off a slight odor
the first time your new appliance is
heated.
The smell and any vapors will dissipate
after a short time and do not indicate a
faulty connection or appliance defect.
