CARE AND CLEANING

Proper care and cleaning are important so your radiant cooktop will give you efficient and satisfactory service. If soil, mineral deposits from evaporated water spills or metal rub-off from aluminum cookware is not removed, it will burn on the glass cooktop surface and cause permanent discoloration.

Follow these directions carefully in caring for your cooktop to assure safe and proper maintenance.

Be sure that the surface unit control knobs are turned off and that the entire cooktop is cool before cleaning. Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health and can chemically attack the glass surface.

BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS OFF AND ALL SURFACES ARE COOL BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF THE COOKTOP.

Control Knobs

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.

Before removing the knobs for cleaning, please note that the knobs are in the proper OFF position. When replacing the knobs, check the OFF position to insure proper placement.

The knob stem has a groove in each side. The groove on one side has a spring clip. The other groove is clear (see illustration). Check the inside of the knob and find the molded rib.

Wash the knobs in soap and water or a vinegar and hot water solution but do not soak.

Replace the knob by fitting the molded rib inside the knob into the clear groove on the stem.

Use the same cleaning methods as those described for the glass ceramic top with the exception of using a scraper. Do not scrape the frame as this will damage the metal surface.
