Cleaning Your Cooktop - KitchenAid KERC507 Use And Care Manual

3. Hold the surface unit as level as possible
with the terminal just started into the
receptacle. Push the surface unit terminal
into the receptacle.
NOTE: Reflector bowls reflect heat back to the cookware on the surface units. They also help
catch spills. When they are kept clean, they reflect heat better and look new longer.
If a reflector bowl gets discolored, some of your cookware may not be flat enough, or some
may be too large for the surface unit. In either case, some of the heat that is meant to go into
or around cookware goes down and heats the reflector bowl. This extra heat can discolor it.
Cleaning under the lift-up cooktop
1. Lift front of cooktop at both front corners
until the support rods lock into place.
2. Wipe with warm, soapy water. Use a soapy
steel-wool pad on heavily soiled areas.
3. To lower the cooktop, lift cooktop from
both sides while pushing the support rods
back to unlock them. Lower the cooktop
into place.
