Proper care and cleaning are important so your

the cooktop power plug, located beneath the
cooktop and inside the cabinets.
How to
remove
protective
shipping
film and
packaging
tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective
shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel
it from the appliance surface. Do not use any
sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the
film before using the appliance for the first time.
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the
product, the safest way to remove the adhesive
from packaging tape on new appliances is an
application of a household liquid dishwashing
detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to
soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all
parts before using the cooktop. It cannot be
removed if it is baked on.
Control
knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Make sure the knobs are in the OFF positions and
pull them straight off the stems for cleaning. The
knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher or they may
also be washed with soap and water. Make sure the
insides of the knobs are dry before replacing.
Replace the knobs in the OFF position to ensure
proper placement.

parts.
The burner grates, caps and burner heads can be
