Your cooktop is designed for easy care. You
can do most cleaning with items found
around your home. Cleaning your cooktop
whenever spills or soiling occurs will help to
keep it looking and operating like new.
Burn and Electrical Shock Hazard
Make sure all controls are off and the
cook-top is cool before cleaning or
servicing.
Failure to do so could result in burns or
electriial shock.
Cleaning the cooktop and control panel
This cooktop is designed for easy care.
However, ceramic cooktops need to be
maintained differently than standard electric
open-coil elements. Foods spilled directly on
the cooktop will not burn off as on open-coil
elements. Because of this, the surface
should be dust-free and soil-free before
heating.
Your cooktop has been prepolished at the
factory for improved protection and
cleanability. The Cooktop Polishing Creme
(included with your cooktop), paper towels or
a sponge, and the razor scraper included
with your cooktop is all you need to clean
your cooktop. For proper cleaning methods,
please review "Cleaning tips" on page
11.
Follow them after each use to ensure top
performance and to preserve that uniquely
elegant look.
