Before first use, clean the cooktop.

Do not use a small pan on a large element.
Not only does
this waste energy, but it can also result in spiltovers burning
onto the cooking area which requires
extra cleaning.
€ Do not use non-flat
specialty
items that are oversized
or
uneven
such
as round
bottom
woks,
rippled
bottom
and/or
oversized
canners
and griddles.
Do not cook foods directly on the
cooktop or use the cooktop
as a
cutting board.

ventilation
system
removes
cooking
vapors,
odors and smoke from foods prepared
on your cooktop.

Care and Cleaning
of the
Ventilation System
# Air Grille:
The air grille lifts off easily by grasping
the
opening
at the rear of the grille. Wipe clean or wash in
dishwasher
or sink with mild household
detergents.
To
prevent
scratching
the surface,
do not use abrasive
cleaners
or scrubbing
pads.
Filter:
Turn off ventilation
system before removing.
The
filter is a permanent
type and should
be cleaned
when
soiled. Clean in sink with warm water and detergent
or in
dishwasher.
If you accidentally
melt these items on the cooktop,
turn
control to low and immediately
scrape the melted material
to a cooler area on the cooktop using a razor blade scraper
held carefully
with a potholder.
Turn element off, When
the element has cooled, scrape off the remaining
soil and
clean as indicated
on page 5.
€ Wipe the cooktop surface with a clean damp cloth or paper
towel before each use.
Invisible
grease
spatters,
water
spots, etc., can cause stains after the element is heated.
t If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately
clean the
spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough
cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe spill with a
clean dry towel.
# Do not allow spills to remain
on the cooking area or the
cooktop trim for a long period of time.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT OPERATE
SYSTEM
WITHOUT
FILTER.
Filter shouId always be placed
at an angle. As you face the front of the
cooktop,
the bottom of the filter should
rest on the ledge on the fight side. The top
of the filter should rest against
the left
side. There are also ledges on the front
and rear sides for the filter to rest. (Note:
If filter is flat against the fan wall, ven-
tilation
effectiveness
is reduced.)
€ Ventilation
Chamber:
This area, which houses the filter,
should be cleaned in the event of spills or whenever it
becomes coated with a film of grease. It can be cleaned with
paper towel, damp cloth, or sponge
and mild household
detergent
or cleanser.
# Do not use abrasive
cleansing
powders
or scouring pads
which will scratch the cooktop.
l, Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia or other cleansers not
specifically
recommended
for use on glass-ceramic.
