Cooktops Ceramic glass cooktop The ceramic cooktop is made from glass ceramic, a tough material that is not affected by changes in temperature. If cared for, it will continue to function well and look attractive for many years. Elements Your cooktop has four individual elements, one of which is a dual circuit element. The diameters of the cooking areas are clearly marked.
Control As the control knob is turned clockwise the heat output is increased. Turn the control knob to High to begin cooking and adjust as necessary. The limiters may turn the elements on and off during cooking. Radiant cooktop The radiant cooktop has tubular heating elements. The elements are designed to lift and rotate allowing easy access to the element bowls for cleaning.
Cleaning Before cleaning we recommend turning the range off at the wall. Wipe the outside surfaces frequently using warm water and a household detergent or a spray-on, wipe-off cleaner. Oven door To remove the oven door for easier cleaning: Open the door to the first stop position. Lift the door to disengage the hinges, by holding the handle only.
Self-cleaning catalylic liners (not in all models) Self-cleaning catalylic liners help reduce manual oven cleaning. Self-cleaning catalylic liners are fitted to the side walls and back of the oven. The liners are coated with a special enamel which is porous and contains oxidising catalysts. Any grease and dirt coming into contact with the liner is absorbed by the enamel and is broken down with the help of the oxidising catalysts at normal cooking temperatures.
