How to Clean the Top of a GE Monogram Gas Stove

General Electric’s Monogram line of stove tops are made from professional grade materials and should be carefully and thoroughly cleaned in order to ensure they are as beautiful as they are functional for years to come. A Monogram gas stove top consists of three main parts that should be cleaned on a regular basis. While there are no specialty tools required to clean your stove top, you should exercise caution when selecting a cleaner to avoid damaging its stainless steel surfaces.
