CARING FOR YOUR RANGE

Cleaning the ceramic glass cooktop

(Model RS696PXG)

Your cooktop is designed for easy care. It has been prepolished at the factory for improved protection and easier cleaning. Foods spilled directly on the cooktop will not burn off as on open-coil elements. Because of this, you should keep the surface dust free and soil free before heating. Use the Cooktop Polishing Creme, included with your range, to clean and maintain the cooktop.
