Product Maintenance

No maintenance, other than the CARE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS identified in this Use & Care Manual, should be attempted by the owner/operator. All other maintenance and service must be performed by a qualified appliance technician.

WARNING:

To prevent injury or permanent damage to the cooktop, avoid:

1.Using the cooktop as a cutting board.

2.Sliding rough-bottomed cookware, especially aluminum, across the glass surface. (Remove any resulting marks immediately, using the recommended cleaner if this occurs.)

3.Allowing anything that melts easily, such as plastic objects, aluminum foil, sugar, and foods with high sugar content, to directly come in contact with the glass surface. In the event that this condition occurs, remove from hot zone immediately with the razor scraper.

4.Placing food directly on the cooktop surface when it is warm or hot. (Always use cookware.)

5.Operating or cleaning the cooktop if the glass is broken. (Immediately contact an authorized service technician.)

6.Placing a trivet, wok support ring, or other metal stand directly onto the glass surface.

7.Applying chlorine bleach, ammonia, or other strong chemicals or cleaners such as Windex or Formula 409 to the cooktop.

8.Using abrasive cleaners or applicators.

9.Mixing various chemicals or cleaners together, then applying them to the cooktop.

10.Wiping the cooktop with a sponge or dish cloth which may leave a film of detergent that will discolor during the next heating cycle. (Remove any resulting discoloration using the recommended cleaner if this occurs.)

If You Need Service…

First, review the recommended checks listed in the preceding Troubleshooting Guide. Then, be certain that the appliance has been installed properly and is being operated correctly. Familiarize yourself with the warranty terms and conditions listed in the PRODUCT WARRANTY section.
