Porcelain Cooktop
The cooktop on your range is designed with two
contoured wells which contain spills until they
can be wiped up.
All spillovers, especially acidic spillovers, should
be wiped up as soon as possible with a dry cloth.
To prevent possible cracking or chipping of the
porcelain, never wipe a warm or hot surface with
a damp cloth. Once the surface is cool, clean
with warm, sudsy water.
Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaning agents on
the porcelain finish for they will permanently
damage the finish.
Lift Up Cooktop
Your Maytag range features an "upswept"
cooktop that can be lifted up for convenient
access to the area under the cooktop. The top is
hinged and can be raised but not removed.

the front edge of the cooktop and gently lift up
until the two automatic prop rods at the front of
the cooktop snap into place.
To lower the eooktop: Hold the front edge of
the cooktop and carefully push back on each
prop rod to release the notched support. Then
gently lower the top into place. The prop rods
will slide into the range frame.
