Cooktop Surface
To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel
surface of the cooktop and to prevent it from
becoming dull, clean up spills right away. Foods
with a lot of acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit
juices, etc.) or foods with high sugar content
could cause a dull spot
if allowed to set.
When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse.
For other spills such as fat spatterings, etc.,
wash with soap and water once the surface
has cooled. Then rinse and polish with a dry
cloth.
Be careful when you clean the cooktop because
the area over the pilot will be hot (on models
with standing pilots).
NOTE:Do not store flammable materials in
an oven or near the cooktop. Do not store or
use combustible materials, gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance.
NOTE:Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner
models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage
and improper operation of the range.
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm
sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or
polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction
of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for
cleaning the stainless steel surface.
