CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning your Appliance

•
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. Steam could penetrate electrical
components and cause a short circuit. Pressurized steam could cause permanent damage to the
surface and to components for which the manufacturer cannot accept responsibility.
•
Do not use any sharp pointed objects which could damage the seal between the ceramic
surface, the surrounding frame and the countertop.
•
Never use abrasive or caustic (oven) cleaners, dishwasher detergent, scouring pads, steel wool
or hard brushes. They will damage the surface.
•
The ceramic surface can be cleaned using a cleaner for ceramic surfaces. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
•
Make sure that no cleaner residue remains on the ceramic surface by carefully wiping the
cooktop with a damp cloth. The residue could damage the cooktop or produce toxic fumes when
heated.
•
Be sure that pot and pan bases are clean and dry. After cleaning, dry the ceramic surface with a
soft cloth to prevent a buildup of lime scale deposits.
•
Clean any spills immediately before they become difficult to remove.
•
Clean the appliance regularly, preferably after each use. Allow the appliance to cool before
cleaning.
•
Wipe off any soiling using a damp cloth. Stubborn soiling is best removed with a shielded
scraper blade.
•
Apply a ceramic cleaner using a soft cloth or paper towel. To remove any lime scale deposits or
metallic residue, apply a ceramic cleaner using a soft cloth and a shielded scraper blade if
necessary.
•
After cleaning, wipe the ceramic surface with a damp cloth and dry.
•
A cleaner with a special additive to prevent water marks and smears on the ceramic surface may
be used.
•
Any melted solids like sugar, plastic or aluminum foil should be removed as soon as possible,
while the burner is still warm. If they are allowed to harden, the cooktop may become pitted.

Cleaning Surface Units and Reflector Bowls

•
Disconnect the A/C from the main power box or
designated circuit breaker, and turn off the cooktop
to make sure that burners are off and cool before
removing burners and reflector bowls.
•
Remove the burners and reflector bowls as
follows:
1. Lift the edge of the surface unit opposite the
receptacle, just enough to clear the reflector
bowl.
2. Pull the surface unit gently out of the mounting
receptacle.
3. After the surface unit has been removed, the
reflector bowl can be lifted out of its mounting.
•
Clean the burners and reflector bowls with mild detergent and warm water. Wring excess water
out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning them.
