Care and Cleaning
When cleaning the cooktop be sure to follow these guidelines:
• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as
metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop,
making it more difficult to clean.
• Do not use harsh cleaners like chlorine bleach, ammonia, or
oven cleaners as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.
• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they
can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and
cause discoloration.
Note:
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an
abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products that
have been specifically designed for ceramic glass cooktops.
General Cleaning
Refer to the "Cleaning Various Parts of Your Oven"
dation table in this section for more detailed information about
cleaning specific parts of the range.
Before manually cleaning any part of the range,
be sure all controls are turned off and the range is cool. The
range may be hot and can cause burns.
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the
oven. Provide adequate ventilation.

line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended
in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in
risk of electric shock, or fire.
• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop can
damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking
utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the surface elements
under any circumstances.
• Aluminum cookware and utensils - The melting point of
aluminum is much lower than that of other metals. Care
must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the
cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when
using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be damaged or
destroyed, but it may fuse to, break or mark the ceramic
glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.
