Cleaning Tips

If anything unusual is spilled on the stainless, the stain may be permanent. Try the following cleaning tips:

  • Ammonia can be used to clean stainless steel.
    • After using ammonia, the surface should be cleaned with a damp cloth and thoroughly dried to prevent hazing.
    • There is no solution ratio for ammonia. If the solution is too strong (odor is present), dilute with water as needed.
    • For better results, keep the cloth in continuous contact with the stainless steel or platinum.
  • White vinegar or rubbing alcohol can be used to clean hard water stains.
  • Mold will not grow on stainless steel.
    • Food spills and other material on a stainless steel surface can cause mold to grow.
    • Follow the same recommended cleaning suggestions to remove mold growth.
    • Do not use bleach to clean mold. It will discolor stainless steel.

If the stainless steel has a permanent stain, service is need to replace the stainless steel burner pan, if desired. Contact Factory Certified Service to schedule an appointment for repair.
