Cleaning And Caring For Your Cooktop; Control Panel And Knobs - Whirlpool Rc8900Xmh Use & Care Manual

l
Sliding aluminum pans or foil, and copper
pans, on the smoothtop can leave marks,
Aluminum marks can be removed if they are
not heated. See page 14 for cleaning and
caring suggestions.
Cooking...
The glass will take longer to heat up than a
regular surface unit. It will also take longer to
cool down. Turn off the unit a few minutes be-
fore you are finished cooking.
Care and Cleaning...
Always clean the smoothtop after cooking.
Avoiding stains
l
Use a special smoothtop cleaner/condi-
tioner every time you use the Smoothtop
Module. Follow the package directions
carefully.
l
Wipe the smoothtop with a clean, damp
paper towel before you use the smooth-
top. (Do not use a sponge or cloth. A little
leftover soap or soil can stain the smooth-
top when heated.)
l
Use only clean cookware.
I
l
Avoid spillovers. Use pans with tall sides.
l
Don't let covers drip on the smoothtop.
l
Wipe up any spills with a wet cloth, when
the unit is cool enough not to steam. The
longer you cook with a spillover on the
unit, the harder it will be to remove.
l
Clean off metal marks (from copper or alu-
minum) right away. If heated they may
never come off.
Avoiding damage
l
Do not use the smoothtop as a cutting
board.
l
Sugary spills can cause pitting on the
surface.
l
Spilling cold water on a hot surface may
crack it. Do not use a cracked smoothtop.
l
Dropping heavy or hard objects on the
cooktop can crack it. Be careful with heavy
skillets. Don't store jars or cans above the
smoothtop.
See the special smoothtop cleaning sugges-
tions on page 14.
