• Use warm soapy water only to clean the burner grates, burner box, painted surfaces, porcelain surfaces,
stainless steel surfaces, and plastic items on your Cooktop. Do not use gritty or acid-type cleaners. Do
not use steel wool or abrasive cleaners, as they will damage your Cooktop. Use only non-abrasive plastic
