Frigidaire 318200710 important safety instructions To Clean the Cooktop Glass, Things to Remember

To Clean the Cooktop Glass

THIS COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.

DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface. Be sure the controls are turned to OFF. Do not use commercial oven cleaners on any part of the cooktop. Damage to the finish or parts could re- sult.

The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Cleanups are easy when spillovers are cleaned up immediately. To clean, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.

Correct and consistent leaning is essential to maintaining your heat-resistant glass top. Spills and spatters should be wiped up using a clean paper towel and sudsy water. This should be done either as soon as possible after the spill occurs, after cooking is completed, or at the latest, before using the cooktop again. Use caution if the cooktop is hot. For heavy spills, spatter or burned-on materials, use a razor blade scraper. Hold the razor blade scraper at no more than a 30° angle and re- move food spills or burned on food residue.

Finish the cleaning process by applying a recommended heat-resistant glass cooktop cleaning cream. Apply cleaner with clean, damp paper towel. Rinse with a paper towel dampened with clean water and wipe dry. Always wipe the cooktop thor- oughly to avoid heating any cleaner residue.

Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Uten- sils

1)Aluminum foil

Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any circum- stances.

2)Aluminum utensils

The melting point of aluminum being much lower than that of other metals, care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used. If allowed to boil dry, not only will the utensil be ruined, but also permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusing or marking may affect the ceramic glass surface.

Things to Remember

2.AVOID using bleach and don’t use ammonia to clean the ceramic surface.

3.Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas.

4.Never slide oven racks across cooktop surface. They may scratch or metalmark the cooktop.

5.If cooktop should break, do not use cooktop or attempt to clean it. Call your authorized service technician immediately.

6.Never use a trivet or metal stand between the cooking utensil and the ceramic cooktop. The ceramic surface may be scratched, metal marked or etched by such items.
