Warning

Personal Injury Hazard

•NOTE: If a wet paper towel is used to remove spillovers from warm cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns.

•Never mix different household cleaning products. Chemical mixtures may interact, with objectionable or even hazardous results.

Do Use

Ceramic glass cleaner-conditioner should be used regularly to clean and protect glass-smooth top cooking surface. If you run out, you may temporarily use baking soda as a cleaning powder.

Do Not Use

1.Household detergents and bleaches.

2.Impregnated plastic or nylon pads.

3.Soap pads; these will scratch and mark.

4.Household abrasive powders except where specified; these may scratch depending on the pressure applied in use.

5.Chemical oven cleaners, e.g. aerosols and oven pads. These are caustic cleaners, and may etch the surface.

6.Rust stain or bath and sink stain removers, as these will mark and etch the surface.

7.Metal scrubbers.

How To Deal With Burned-On Spots

1.Make sure area to be cleaned is warm to the touch.

2.The careful use of a stainless steel razor blade held at approximately 30 degrees to the surface can be used to remove stubborn burned-on spots from the surface.

3.Use cleaner-conditioner, and finally wipe the cooktop clean with a paper towel or damp cloth.

If after the use of recommended materials there are some persistent stains or marks on the cooktop, the unit should be cleaned using a liquid cleanser. This will remove any accumulated residue of cleaner-conditioner, and if applied with a non-impregnated plastic or nylon pad for non-stick pans, for at least three to four minutes, it will also take off the film caused by salts and minerals before it has an opportunity to discolor or develop into a problems. Finish off with a touch of cleaner-conditioner, polish to a high lustre.

Any smearing or streaking on the surface may be removed with lightly dampened paper towel and polished with a soft dry cloth.

Metal Marks

Certain metal pots, especially those with aluminum bottoms may leave marks on the surface, especially if the pan is allowed to slide. Use the cleaner-conditioner before the unit is used again to prevent the mark from baking on the surface.

Caution

Product Damage Hazard

Ceramic glass cleaner-conditioner should be applied regularly after use of other cleaners, otherwise over a period of time the surface of the ceramic glass may roughen, and cleaning will become progressively more difficult. Staining may also occur.

Important Notes

1.In the event of the cooktop being scratched, soil will collect and appear as fine lines. These are not fully removable, but can be minimized by the daily use of cleaner-conditioner. These scratches do not affect cooking performance.

2.Soil from sugar solutions must be removed from the cooktop before the syrup has set, otherwise it can permanently bond to the ceramic surface.

GRIDDLE OPTION

OPTIONAL

GRIDDLE

Griddle for Smoothtop (glass top)

Set griddle over a back/front burner combination. Turn both burners on MAX for a couple of minutes or until griddle reaches frying temperature. Temperatures may be adjusted as required.

Griddle for gas burners

Set griddle on the left over the back/front burner combination. Lock the notches of the griddle onto the back

&front grate fingers. First make sure that grates are positioned on burners correctly. Turn both front & back burners on to correct frying temperature.

Warning: Do not use two griddles on a range as damage to the top can occur.

CANNING

For best results, use a flat bottom, heavy gauge canner. Canners with rippled bottoms will not work on electric burners because the bottom does not make enough contact with the element.

GAS COOKTOP

Gas cooktops are more forgiving than electric cooktops. Most cookware will work, although tight fitting lids are recommended for efficient cooking on both. Always adjust the burner controls so that flames do not extend past the edges of pots or pans.
