General Care & Cleaning
When lowering the cooktop, grasp the sides with fingertips only. Be careful not to pinch fingers. Also, DO NOT
drop or bend the cooktop when raising or lowering. This could damage the surface.
DO NOT turn the burners on when the cooktop is raised for cleaning. Be sure that the top is completely lowered
and securely in place before turning on the burners.
To raise and lower the cooktop for cleaning:
1.
Remove burner grates and drip pans (some models). Set aside.
2.
Grasp the sides of the cooktop and then lift from the front (See Fig. 1)
3.
Lift the cooktop high enough to allow the cooktop support
rods to snap into place. The rods will support the cooktop in
the raised position.
4.
Clean underneath using hot, soapy water and a clean cloth; then, dry.
5.
To lower the cooktop, grasp the front corner of each side of the top while pushing back on each rod with the heel of
your hand. This will release the notched support. Hold the range top and gently slide the cooktop down to the range.
