CARE AND CLEANING

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.

Cooktop

Porcelain Enamel Finish (on some models)

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.

Brushed Chrome Finish (on some models)

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.

Vent System

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.

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.
