CARE & CLEANING
Cleaning the cooktop and surface burners
CAUTION
• To avoid possible burns DO NOT attempt any of the
cleaning instructions provided below before turning OFF
all of the surface burners and allow them to cool.
• Any additions, changes or conversions required in order
for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application
needs must be made by an authorized qualified Agency.
Routinely clean the cooktop. Wipe with a clean, damp
cloth and wipe dry to avoid scratches.
Keeping the surface burner head ports clean will prevent
improper ignition and an uneven flame. See the following
sections for more instructions.
To clean recessed and contoured areas of cooktop
If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or contoured areas,
blot up spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with a clean,
damp cloth and wipe dry.
To clean burner grates
• Clean when the grates are cool.
• Use nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mild abrasive
cleanser.
• Food soils containing acids may affect the finish. Clean
immediately after the grates are cool.
• Thoroughly dry grates immediately following cleaning.

WARNING
• DO NOT turn the burners on when the cooktop is
raised for cleaning. Be sure that the top is completely
lowered and securely in place before turning on the
surface burners.
CAUTION
When lowering the lift-up range cooktop, grasp the sides
with fingertips only. Be careful not to pinch fingers. Do
not drop or bend the range cooktop when raising or
lowering. This could damage the cooktop surface.
Raising and lowering the cooktop
1. Remove burner grates when cool from cooktop and
set aside.
2. Grasp the sides of the cooktop and then lift from the
front (See Fig. 1).
3. Lift the top high enough to allow the support rods
to snap into place. The lift-up rods will support the
cooktop in the raised position.
4. If necessary, clean underneath using hot, soapy water
and a clean cloth; then, dry.
5. To lower the cooktop, grasp the front corner of each
side of the top while pushing back on each rod with
the heel of your hand. This will release the notched
support. Hold the range top and gently slide the range
top down to the range.
