Instructions
Be sure all surface units are turned off before raising the cooktop.
Lift-Up Cooktop (on some models)
Some models have a cooktop that can be lifted up for easier cleaning. The entire cooktop may be lifted up and supported in the up position.
The surface units do not need to be removed; however, you may remove one to make raising the cooktop easier. There are two side supports that lock into position when the cooktop is lifted up.
After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, mild soapy water and a clean cloth, lower the cooktop. Be careful not to pinch your fingers.
To lower the cooktop, push the rods back and gently lower the cooktop until it rests in place.
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop on radiant top models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation of the range.
