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

Cleaning the cooktop

This cooktop is designed for easy care. However, ceramic cooktops need to be maintained differ- ently than standard electric open-coil elements. Foods spilled directly on the cooktop will not burn 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

Burn and Electrical Shock Hazard

Make sure all controls are OFF and the cooktop is cool before cleaning.

Failure to do so can result in burns or electri- cal shock.
