Cooktop Surface

Safety

To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel surface of the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming dull, clean up spills right away. Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with high sugar content could cause a dull spot if allowed to set.

When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse. For other spills such as fat spatterings, etc., wash with soap and water once the surface has cooled. Then rinse and polish with a dry cloth.

Be careful when you clean the cooktop because the area over the pilot will be hot (on models with standing pilots).

NOTE: Do not store flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop. Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation of the range.

Installation Instructions

Lift-Up Cooktop (on models with standard twin burners)

Some models have dual support rods that will hold the cooktop up while you clean underneath it.

Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch on fire.

To make cleaning easier, the cooktop may be lifted up.

NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation of the range.

To raise the cooktop:

Be sure the burners are turned off.

Remove the grates and drip pans (if so equipped).

Grasp the two front burner wells and lift up.

Clean under the cooktop with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. If you removed your surface burners while cleaning, make sure they are properly seated when replacing them.

After cleaning, lower the cooktop (be careful not to pinch your fingers). Lower cooktop gently to avoid blowing out pilot flames (on standing pilot models).

Replace drip pans (if so equipped) and grates.
