a soft scrubbing brush.  Note that the gas control knobs are a push fit onto the gas control 

valve spindles and can be removed to allow cleaning of the front control panel.

stainless steel wool.  Always apply cleaner when the appliance is cold and rub in the direction 

of the grain.

To achieve the best results cleaning must be regular and thorough and all controls and mechanical parts 

should be checked and adjusted periodically by a qualified service person.  If any small faults occur, have 

them attended to promptly.  Don't wait until they cause a complete breakdown.  It is recommended that 

the appliance is serviced every 6 months.
