Care and Cleanin
Your cook-top
will remain
looking
good and easy
to clean for a long time if cared for properly.
To keep the cook-top
looking
its best, clean it after
every use as soon as all components
are cool
enough
to safely
touch. Cleaning
the cook-top
whenever
spills
or soiling
occurs,
and being
careful to avoid hot areas,
will help to keep your
cook-top
looking
like new. Spills
of certain foods,
such as tomatoes,
citrus juice,
vinegar,
alcohol
and
milk can be very harmful
if allowed
to stand for
any length
of time.
Before
Using
for the First
Time
Before using the cook-top for the first time the
cook-top
should be cleaned
thoroughly.
For initial
and everyday cleaning use a soft cloth or sponge
lightly dampened
with a solution of warm water
and hand dishwashing
liquid to clean all
components. Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads
such as steel wool pads as these will permanently
scratch the cook-top surface
and will damage the
porcelain enamel coating on the grates and burner
caps.

•
Make
sure all controls
are in the OFF
position
and the cook-top
is cool before
cleaning.
•
Do not use oven
cleaners,
bleach
or rust
removers
to clean the cook-top.
•
Do:not
obstruct
the flow of combustion
and/or
ventilation
air.
•
If control
knobs
are removed
while
cleaning,
be careful
not to spill liquids
through
the openings
in the control
panel.
•
Be careful
not to allow
moisture
to
collect
in control
area. Moisture
can
cause
igniter
switches
to fail.
•
Keep
appliance
area clear
and free of
combustible
materials,
gasoline
and other
flammable
vapors
and liquids.
•
After
cleaning,
reassemble
all
components
to the cook-top
before
attempting
to operate.
•
Always
disconnect
the electrical
supply
before
servicing
and cleaning
this
appliance.
Failure to follow these guidelines
could
result in bums, electrical shock, fire,
explosion
or product damage.
Grates
and
Cook-Top
Surface
The top surface of the grates
and burner
caps are
covered
with a porcelain
enamel
coating.
Treating
these
enamel
components
with care will slow the
natural
deterioration
that takes place with cook-top
use. Also, the cook-top
surface
itself,
whether
glass or stainless
steel,
requires special
care to
keep it looking
good over the years. To keep the
enamel
parts
and the cook-top
surface
looking
their
best the following
is recommended:
•
Do not use pots or pans having
rough bottoms.
Rough
bottomed
cookware
can cause permanent
damage
to the top surface
of the grates
as well
as the cook-top
surface.
•
Do not drop
heavy
pots or pans onto the grates
or the cook-top
surface.
•
Do not drag heavy
pots or pans
across
the grates
or the cook-top
surface.
•
Place the grates
care.fully when
placing
or
replacing
them on the cook-top
surface.
Do not
drop the grates
into place.
•
Do not clean the grates
or burner
caps in the
dishwasher.
Use caution when cooking to avoid spills as
much as possible. Enamel is acid resistant, but
not acid proof. High acid foods can cause
permanent
damage if allowed to remain on
enamel surfaces.
