Read and follow the Care and Cleaning instructions to ensure that proper cooktop operation and appearance will be maintained throughout the lifetime of the product. Several materials and finishes are used in the cooktop. Each material and finish must be properly cleaned according to the following recommendations. Failure to follow these recommendations may result in permanent damage to the cooktop.
WARNING
•Before cleaning the cooktop, ensure that all burners are turned off and that all components are cool enough to safely touch.
•After cleaning, reassemble all components before attempting to operate the cooktop.
Proper cleaning is necessary to maintain cooktop performance and appearance, while also ensuring safe operation. The cleaning effort necessary to maintain the cooktop varies according to the type and amount of cooking. For example, more frequent cleaning is required if the cooktop is used often for frying or other high temperature operations.
Clean the cooktop thoroughly prior to operating it the first time. For initial and everyday cleaning, use a soft cloth or sponge lightly dampened with a solution of warm water and hand dishwashing liquid to clean all components.
