CARE AND CLEANING
(continued next page)
Lift-Up Cooktop
Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up
soil, especially grease, may catch fire.
To make cleaning easier, the entire cooktop may be lifted up and secured with the support rod.
Be sure all Calrod@ surface units are turned off before raising the cooktop. After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, mild soapy water and a clean cloth, lower the cooktop. Be careful not to pinch your fingers.
Porcelain Enamel Finish (on some models) | Brushed Chrome Finish (on some models) |

Avoid cleaning powders or harsh abrasives which may scratch the enamel.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away. When the surface has cooled, wash with soap and water. Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat smatterings, wash with soap and water after the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
Clean the brushed chrome top with warm, soapy water or Bon Ami@ brand cleanser and immediately dry it with a clean, soft cloth. Take care to dry the surface following the “grain.” To help prevent finger marks after cleaning, spread a thin film of baby oil on the surface. Wipe away excess oil with a clean, soft cloth.
