Caring for Your Range
Your range is designed for easy care. You can do most cleaning with items found around
your home. Cleaning your range whenever spills or soiling occurs will help to keep it looking
and operating like new.
Cleaning
the cooktop
This cooktop is designed for easy care.
However, 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.
Your cooktop has been prepolished
at
the factory for improved protection and
cleanability.
The Cooktop Polishing Creme
(included with your range), paper towels or a
sponge, and a single edge razor blade in a
holder is all you need to clean your cooktop.
For proper cleaning methods, please review
'Cleaning tips" on page 27. Follow them
after each use to ensure top performance
and to preserve that uniquely elegant look.
NOTE: Let cooktop cool before cleaning.
To avoid damaging
the cooktop,
follow
these instructions:
l
Sugar spills and soils (such as jellies
and candy syrups) can cause pitting on
the cooktop if not removed while the
ceramic
surface
is still warm. Remove
as soon as possible after the spill occurs.
l
Do not use the cooktop as a cutting
board.
l
Do not allow anything that could melt
(such as plastic or aluminum foil) to come
in contact with the surface while it is hot.
l
Do not use the ceramic cooktop to cook
popcorn that comes in prepackaged
aluminum containers.
The container could
leave aluminum marks on the cooktop
that cannot be removed completely.
l
Do not use steel wool, plastic cleaning
pads, abrasive powdered cleansers,
chlorine bleach, rust remover, ammonia,
or glass cleaning products with ammonia.
These could damage the cooktop surface.
l
Dropping
heavy or hard objects on the
cooktop could crack it. Be careful with
heavy skillets. Do not store jars or cans
above the cooktop.
