COOKTOP CARE

General Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the cooktop is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products.

Pull knobs straight away from control panel to remove.

CONTROL PANEL

Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty wash cloths or some paper towels. Damage may occur.

■Glass cleaner and soft cloth or sponge:

Apply glass cleaner to soft cloth or sponge, not directly on panel.
