Always use the mildest cleaner that will do the job. Use clean, soft cloths, sponges or paper
towels.

Rub stainless steel finishes in the direction of the grain. Wipe area dry to avoid water marks.

Do not clean removable cooktop parts in any self-cleaning oven.

After cleaning, place all parts in their proper positions before using cooktop.
