Caring for Your Range

Your range is designed for easy care. You can do most cleaning with items found around your home. Cleaning your range whenever spills or soiling occurs will help to keep it looking and operating like new.

Cleaning the cooktop

This cooktop is designed for easy care. However, ceramic cooktops need to be maintained differently than standard electric open-coil elements. Foods spilled directly on the cooktop will not burn off as on open-coil elements. Because of this, the surface should be dust free and soil free before heating.

Your cooktop has been prepolished at the factory for improved protection and cleanability. The Cooktop Polishing Creme (included with your range), paper towels or a sponge, and a single edge razor blade in a holder is all you need to clean your cooktop. For proper cleaning methods, please review “Cleaning tips” on page 27. Follow them after each use to ensure top performance and to preserve that uniquely elegant look.

NOTE: Let cooktop cool before cleaning.

To avoid damaging the cooktop, follow these instructions:

l Sugar spills and soils (such as jellies and candy syrups) can cause pitting on the cooktop if not removed while the ceramic surface is still warm. Remove as soon as possible after the spill occurs.

lDo not use the cooktop as a cutting board.

l Do not allow anything that could melt (such as plastic or aluminum foil) to come in contact with the surface while it is hot.

l Do not use the ceramic cooktop to cook popcorn that comes in prepackaged aluminum containers. The container could leave aluminum marks on the cooktop that cannot be removed completely.

l Do not use steel wool, plastic cleaning pads, abrasive powdered cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover, ammonia, or glass cleaning products with ammonia. These could damage the cooktop surface.

l Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop could crack it. Be careful with heavy skillets. Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop.
