Care and Cleaning

. .

Proper care and cleaning are important so your cooktop will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions ~arefidly in caring for it to help assure safk and proper maintenance.

BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING

ANY Pm OF YOURCOOICKX?

When the cooktop is cool, wash the outer finish with warm, soapy water, rinse the surface with clean water, and dry it with a soft cloth. You can use any liquid household detergent.

Brushed Chrome Finish

(Model JGP600EH)

To remove stubborn soil, use a paste of baking soda and water. Never use steel wool, scouring powder, oven cleaners or other abrasive cleaners. To restore luster, spread a thin film of baby oil on the sur%we, let it stand for about five minutes, and wipe away any excess oil with a damp cloth.

Outer Enamel Finish

(ModelJGP600AEH)

Occasionally apply a thin coat of mild ckaning wax, if you wish, to help protect the enamel ftish. If you spill foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or fds with high sugar content, clean them up as soon as possible. If allowed to set, these

fti could cause a dull spot.

Control Mel

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel clean after each use of the cooktop. For a more thorough cleaning, the knobs can be removed by pulling them off the knob stems. Cle~ with mild soap and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleaners or oven cleaners on the control panel— they will damage the finish.

Burner Grates

Grates should be washed regularly and, of course, afier spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. To get rid of burned-on food, soak the grates in a slightly diluted liquid cleanser. Dry the grates with a cloth-don’t put them back on the cooktop wet. When replacing the grates, be sure they’re locked into position over the burners.

Although they’re durable, the grates will gradually lose their shine, regardless of the care you take of them. This is due to their exposure to high temperatures.

To preserve the grates’ porcelain finish as long as possible, have a pan on the grate before you turn on the burner, and lower the flame when fd reaches the desired temperature.

Drip I%ns

Remove the grates and lift out the chrome drip pans. Wash them in hot, soapy water. Rinse them with clean hot water and polish them dry with a cloth. Never use abrasive cleaner or steel wool-they’ll scratch the surface. Instead, soak the drip pans for about 20 minutes in slightly diluted liquid cleanser or mild solution of ammonia and water (1/2 cup of ammonia to one gallon of water). After soaking, wash them in hot, soapy water. Rinse with clean water and polish with a cloth. Do not clean in self-cleaning oven.

Lift-up Top

Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch fire.

To make cleaning easier, the entire cooktop maybe lifted up.

jf ~.

Be sure all burners are turned off

before raising the cooktop. Then remove grates, drip pans and knobs, grasp front of cooktop and lift.

After cleaning under the top with hot, mild soapy water and a clean cloth, put the top back in place.

Be carefhl not to pinch your fingers. Replace drip pans, grates and knobs.

Burners

The holes in the burners of your cooktop must be kept clean at all times for proper ignition and an even, unhampered flame.

Clean the burners routinely and especially afier bad spillovers which could clog these holes. Burners lift right out for cleaning.

Note: A screw holds each of the burners in place to keep them from wobbling around during shipment. TWSindicate their location. Remove the screw, lift the burner, tilt it to one side at the end closest to the igniter and move it toward the back of the range. This disengages it from the gas valves at the front of the range, and it lifts out easily.

To remove burned-on food, soak
the burner in a solution of a product
used for cleaning the inside of coffee
makers. Soak the burner for 20 to
30 minutes. If the food doesn’t
rinse off completely, scrub it with
soap and water or a mild abrasive
cleanser and a damp cloth.	,;”’ -

Before putting the burner back, dry “-”= it thoroughly by setting it in a warm oven for 30 minutes. Then place it back in the range, making sure it is properly seated and level.
