Instructions

Care and cleaning of the cooktop.

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the cooktop.

Instructions Safety

Glass Cooktop

To keep the cooktop looking its best, wipe up any spills as they occur. This will keep them from burning on and becoming more difficult to remove.

As soon as the cooktop is cool, wash the glass surface with a cloth moistened with warm, soapy water; rinse with clean water, and dry with a soft cloth. You can use any liquid household detergent.

Do not use abrasive materials such as metal pads, cleansing powder and scouring pads—they may scratch the surface.

Do not use harsh chemicals such as bleach or chemical oven cleaners.

CAUTION: Do not cook on or clean a broken or cracked cooktop. Cleaning solutions and spillovers penetrating the cooktop can create a risk of electric shock. Call for a service technician immediately.

Grease Filters

The efficiency of your downdraft depends on a clean filter. Frequency of cleaning depends on the type of cooking you do. Grease filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the downdraft without the filters in place.

To remove: Lift up and pull the bottom out. Remove the left filter first, then slide the right filter to the left and remove it.

To clean: Soak and then agitate in a hot detergent solution. Light brushing may be used to remove imbedded soil.

Rinse, shake and remove moisture

before replacing. Filters may be cleaned by placing in dishwasher, although some slight color fading may occur after several washings.

With careful handling, the filter will last for years. If replacement becomes necessary, order the part from your dealer.

Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating

Control Knobs

Clean up spatters with a damp cloth. Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water.

Do not use abrasives of any kind on the control panel.

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.
