Glass Ceramic Cooktop Models; Removable Oven Door - Whirlpool WKP85800 Use & Care Manual

Glass Ceramic Cooktop Models

Your range is designed for ease of cleaning. Most cleaning can
be done with soap and water or other mild household cleaners.
Cleaning your range whenever spills or soiling occurs will keep it
looking and operating like new.
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners on the exterior.
The glass ceramic cooktop is designed for easy care. However,
glass ceramic cooktops need to be maintained differently than
standard electric open-coil elements. Foods spilled directly on
the cooktop will not burn off as on open-coil elements. Because
of this, the surface should be dust-free and soil-free before
heating.
Cooktop Polishing Creme, paper towels or a clean cloth, and
a razor blade scraper is all you need to clean your cooktop.
Your cooktop has been prepolished at the factory for improved
protection and cleanability. For proper cleaning methods, please
review the "Cleaning tips" section. Follow them after each use to
ensure top performance and to preserve the uniquely elegant
look. Cooktop Polishing Creme (Part No. 9780196) and Razor
Scraper (Part No. 3183488) can be purchased through authorized
service centers or major department stores.
To avoid damaging the cooktop, follow these instructions :
Do not use cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop.
To remove spills from hot elements :
Turn OFF the element.
Remove sugary spills with razor scraper while the cooktop is
still warm. You may want to wear oven mitts while doing so.
Clean elements with Cooktop Polishing Creme after it has
cooled down.
Remove heavy or sugary spills IMMEDIATELY from hot
elements following the procedure given above. Sugar spills
and soils (such as jams, jellies and candy syrups) can cause
pitting on the cooktop if not removed while the ceramic
surface is still warm.
Do not allow anything that may melt (such as plastic,
aluminum foil) to come in contact with the surface while it is
hot.
Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
Do not use steel wool, abrasive powdered cleansers,
abrasive cleaning pads, chlorine bleach, rust remover,
ammonia or glass cleaning products with ammonia. These
could damage the cooktop surface.
Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop can crack it.
Be careful with heavy skillets. Do not store jars or cans above
the cooktop.
Lift pots and pans onto and off the cooktop. Sliding metal
pans on the glass ceramic cooktop surface may leave marks.
Remove metal marks from copper or aluminum pans with
Cooktop Polishing Creme before heating the cooktop again.
If heated before cleaning, metal marks may not come off.
Using a pan with a nicked or scratched bottom may damage
the glass ceramic cooktop.
Make sure bottoms of pans are clean and dry before using.
Heating a soiled pan may leave a stain on the cooktop.

Avoid spillovers. Use pans with tall sides.
Do not cook food directly on glass ceramic cooktop.
Wipe off the cooktop before and after each use to help to
keep the surface free from stains and give you the most even
heating.
Cleaning tips
W hat to use :
Cooktop Polishing Creme with paper towel or clean, damp
cloth. This creme has been developed especially for cleaning
and protecting your cooktop. When using, follow instructions
on container.
Razor blade scraper (single edge razor blade in a holder). Use
to remove cooked-on soils from your ceramic cooktop. Razor
blades will not scratch your cooktop. Store razor blades out
of reach of children.
Steps to follow :
1. Most spills can be wiped off easily using a paper towel or
clean, damp cloth as soon as Hot Surface indicator light(s) go
off.
2. Carefully scrape off any burnt-on food with a razor blade
scraper.
3. Rub Cooktop Polishing Creme into cooked-on soil using a
paper towel. If some soil remains, leave some creme on the
spot(s) and follow Step 2.
4. Finish by polishing entire cooktop with Cooktop Polishing
Creme and a paper towel.
Additional tips :
Remove dark streaks, specks and discoloration with Cooktop
Polishing Creme after the cooktop has cooled.
Tiny scratches or abrasions do not affect cooking. In time,
these will become less visible as a result of regular use of
Cooktop Polishing Creme.
