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 opencoil
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 the razor
scraper included with your range is all you need to
clean your cooktop. For proper cleaning methods,
please review "Cleaning tips" on page 34. Follow
them after each use to ensure top performance
and to preserve that uniquely elegant look.
