CAUTION: Be careful when raising or lowering

the vent. Be sure pots, pot handles and other objects

are clear of the vent cover and cannot be struck or

tipped by the vent being raised. Keep hands and

fingers away from all vent parts.

Proper care and cleaning are important so your cooktop

will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow

these directions carefully in caring for it.

Before cleaning any part of your cooktop, be sure all

burners are off and DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL

POWER TO THE COOKTOP at the fuse box or

circuit breaker panel, or pull the cooktop power plug,

located beneath the cooktop and inside the cabinets.

Glass Cooktop

To keep the cooktop looking its best, wipe up any

spills as they occur. This will keep them from burning

on and becoming more difficult to remove.

As soon as the cooktop is cool, wash the glass surface

with a cloth moistened with warm, soapy water; rinse

with clean water, and dry with a soft cloth. You can use

any liquid household detergent. Do not use abrasive

materials such as metal pads, cleansing powder and

scouring pads—they may scratch the surface. Do not use

harsh chemicals such as bleach or chemical oven cleaners.

Filters

To remove the filters, raise the vent to the fully

extended position. Remove the front grille by pulling

the top edge forward and lifting away the panel. Lift

out the two filters.

Clean the filters by agitating in a hot detergent

solution or wash them in the dishwasher. The efficiency

of the vent system depends on how clean the filters

are. The filters can become soiled in a short time and

should be cleaned frequently for best performance.

After cleaning, replace the filters and the front grille.
