Be sure all surface units are turned off before
raising the cooktop. Grasp the front sides of the
cooktop and lift. The surface units do not need to
be removed before lifting, however, you may remove
one to make raising the cooktop easier.
After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, mild soapy
Water and a clean cloth, lower the cooktop. Be

not to pinch your fingers.

Control Panel and Knobs

[t’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each
use.
Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and
water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a
soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners
on the control panel—they will
damage the finish.
A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Before removing the knobs for cleaning, please note
that the knobs on the left side and the knobs on the
right side
are in the proper
OFF position. When
replacing the knobs,
check
the

position to
insure
proper placement.
