Care And Cleaning; Control Panel And Knobs; Grease Collector Jar - GE P385 Use And Care & Installation Manual

NOTE: Let cooktop parts cool before touching or handling.
Proper care and cleaning are important so your cooktop will give you
efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in
caring for your cooktop to assure safe and proper maintenance.
Porcelain Enamel Finish
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if
misused. This finish is acid-resistant. However, any
acidic foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or
vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the finish.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry
paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away. When
the surface has cooled, wash with soap and water.
Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash with soap
and water after the surface has cooled. Rinse well.
Polish with a dry cloth.

Grease Collector Jar

Scoop out grease with a large spoon. Soak the jar in warm water
to loosen grease if desired. Clean with a plastic or soap-filled
scouring pad and hot soapy water.
The jar may also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
The jar may be replaced with any wide-mouth canning jar.

Control Panel and Knobs

Clean up any spills or spatters with a damp cloth.
Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water.
Clean the control panel with mild liquid dish detergent
and a soft cloth. Rub the control panel lightly.
CAUTION: Do not use abrasives of any kind on the
control panel.

CARE AND CLEANING

(on some models)
Brushed Chrome Finish
Clean the brushed chrome top with warm, soapy water
®
or Bon Ami brand cleanser and immediately dry it
with a clean, soft cloth. Take care to dry the surface
following the "grain." To help prevent finger marks
after cleaning, spread a thin film of baby oil on the
surface. Wipe away excess oil with a clean, soft cloth.
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
To remove a knob, pull it
straight off the stem. Wash
the knobs in soap and
water but do not soak.
Do not allow water to run
down inside the surface
of the panel while
cleaning. After drying,
return the knobs to the
cooktop, making sure to
match the flat area on the
knob to the shaft.
