NOTE: Reflector bowls reflect heat back to
the utensils on the surface units. They also
help catch spills. When they are kept clean,
they reflect heat better and look new longer.
If a reflector bowl gets discolored, some of
your utensils may not be flat enough, or
some may be too large for the surface unit.
In either case, some of the heat that's meant
to go into or around a utensil goes down and
heats the reflector bowl. This extra heat can
discolor it.
Cleaning the solid element surface units
Burn and Electrical Shock Hazard
Solid element surface units do not glow
red when hot. Make sure all controls
are OFF and the range is COOL before
cleaning.
Failure to do so can result in burns or
electrical shock.
1. Make sure
all surface units are off and
cool.
2. For best results, wipe
off surface units
with a damp sponge and soapy water
after each use.
Remove
burned-on food
with a soap-filled scrubbing pad.
Rinse
well.
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.
NOTE: Make sure plastic scrubbing pad
does not contain metal or abrasive
particles. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
