Care and Cleaning

WARNING

•Clean only the parts of the cooktop listed in this manual. Clean them only in the manner specified.

•To avoid dangerous fumes or damage to your cooktop’s surfaces and accessories, use only the types of cleaning solutions specified in this manual.

•To avoid electrical shock or burns, turn off the burners and make sure that all parts are cool before cleaning. DO NOT turn the burners on during cleaning.

•Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop. Steam could penetrate the electrical components and cause a short circuit. After cleaning the burners, reassemble all of the burner parts before attempting to operate the cooktop.

•Always dry and reassemble the cooktop parts completely before use. See page 5.

caution

•Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object such as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may scratch your cooktop’s surfaces.

•To prevent damage, do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaners or applicators such as steel wool or scouring pads, on any part of the cooktop unless instructed to do so. Use only a sponge, soft cloth, fibrous or plastic brush, or nylon cleaning pad for cleaning the surfaces of your cooktop.

•Take care when cleaning around the control valve stems. If you get moisture inside the holes in the chassis, damage to the cooktop can occur.

•Do not soak the knobs in water or put them in the dishwasher.

Cleaning the Cooktop

To keep the cooktop looking and operating its best, clean it after every use. Also, quickly wipe up spills that occur while cooking. Be careful not to touch any hot areas.

If you allow spills to sit on hot burner parts, they will burn on and be very difficult to clean. Certain types of food, such as tomatoes, citrus juices, vin- egar, alcohol and milk can damage the finishes if you allow them to stand for any length of time.

IMPORTANT: The cooktop is exposed to extremely high temperatures. The grates are under high stress when hot utensils are placed on them. Also, the cooktop parts are occasionally exposed to acidic food spill-overs. These severe operating conditions, cause the porcelain enamel parts on your cooktop to undergo a change in appearance over time. If you care for and clean these parts carefully, you will slow down, but not eliminate, the aging process.

Disassembly

1. For safety, discon- nect the cooktop power cord from the electrical outlet.

2. When the cooktop is cool, remove the grates from the top of the cooktop.

3. Disassemble the burners:

SimmerSear™ Burner Disassembly

Lift the cap cover and burner cap off of the burner head(s). The burner head(s) on the SimmerSear™ burner(s) are not removable.

Standard Burners Disassembly

Lift the cap covers, and burner heads off of the burner bases.

Cleaning the Grates, Spill Trays and WOK Ring

caution

Do not clean the cooktop grates, burner parts or WOK ring in a dishwasher. They will be damaged.

NOTE: If your cooktop is equipped with stainless steel spill trays, see the Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces section for spill tray cleaning instructions.

The grates, the spill tray (on some models) and optional WOK ring are coated with a porcelain finish.

• For everyday cleaning, use a soft cloth or non- abrasive pad with warm soapy water to clean all of the porcelain parts.

• If necessary, tough stains may be removed

by applying full-strength sprays such as Simple Green™, Ajax™ All-Purpose Cleaner or Formula 409™. To minimize wear, use the mildest cleaner needed to get the surface clean.

•For extremely stubborn stains, you may use a mildly abrasive cleaner or applicator, such as Soft Scrub™, Bon Ami™, S.O.S.® pads or other soap-filled steel wool pads. Use these cleaners with extreme care and only on occasion. Exten- sive use of these types of abrasives will eventu- ally damage the porcelain enamel.
