Caring For Your Cooktop
Burn and Electrical
Shock Hazard
Make sure all controls
are off and the
cooktop
is cool before cleaning.
Failure to
do so can result in burns or electrical
shock.
Control knobs and glass
cooktop surface
1. Turn control knobs to the OFF position.
2. Pull control knobs straight off.
3. Use warm, soapy water or spray glass cleaner
and a soft cloth to wipe the glass cooktop
surface. Rinse and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
4. Wash control knobs in warm, soapy water.
Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Do not
soak.
5. Replace control knobs by pushing them firmly
into place.
NOTE: When cleaning, never use steel wool,
abrasives, or commercial oven cleaners which
may damage the finish. After cleaning, make sure
all control knobs point to the OFF position.
Solid element surface units
1. For best results, wipe off surface units with a
damp soft cloth and soapy water after each
use. Remove burned-on food with a soap-filled
scouring pad. The red spot in the center of the
surface unit will gradually wash off. This is
normal and will not affect the operation of the
surface unit.
2. IMPORTANT:
Dry the element completely
after cleaning. Turn on the element for a few
minutes to thoroughly dry. After the element
has cooled, use a paper towel to apply a thin
coat of salt-free oil to the surface units to
season and restore the finish. Wipe excess oil
off stainless steel trim rings. Then heat 3-5
minutes. Some smoking may occur; this is
normal. If surface units have dark spots
caused by grease and food, the oil treatment
will improve their appearance
but not eliminate
the spots.
NOTE: Optional Electrol@ dressing can be
applied to the surface units to improve their
appearance.
