Special tips

l Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the Self- Cleaning cycle to help get rfd of heat, odors and smoke.

l After the oven is cool, wipe up any residue or ash with a damp cloth.

*Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and resufts in more smoke than usual.

*ff the Seff-Cleaning cycle does not get the oven as clean as you expected, the cycle may not have been set long enough or you may not have prepared the oven properly. Set the Self- Cleaning cycle longer the next time and hand- clean areas noted on page 28.

Cleaning the cooktop

This cooktop is designed for easy care. However, ceramic cooktops need to be maintained differ- ently than standard electric opencoil elements. Foods spilled directly on the cooktop will not bum off as on opencoil 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 unit), paper towels or a sponge, and the razor scraper included with your range are all you need to clean your cooktop. For proper cleaning methods, please review “Cleaning tips” on page

33.Follow them after each use to ensure top performance and to preserve that uniquely

elegant look.
