KitchenAid 1850, 1865, 1875, 1855 Do Use, Do Not Use, How To Deal With Burned-On Spots, Metal Marks

•Clean unit with a damp clean paper towel. To remove more stubborn spots, use a slightly dampened non- impregnated plastic or nylon pad specially made for non-stick utensils.

•Use liquid cleansers to remove any discoloration, especially in hard water areas. A non-impregnated plastic or nylon pad specially made for non-stick utensils may also be used with these cleaners. Do not apply excessive pressure while rubbing. This could cause scratches over time.

•Apply cleaner-conditioner and polish with paper towel or a soft dry cloth.

•Any smearing or hazing on the surface may be removed with a lightly dampened paper towel, and polished with a soft dry cloth.

•Do not use a sponge or a dishcloth. They may leave a film of soil-laden detergent on the heating area which may turn brown and resemble a discolouration the next time the area is heated. If that should happen, cleaner- conditioner will remove it.

Warning

Personal Injury Hazard

•Note: If a wet paper towel is used to remove spillovers from warm cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns.

•Never mix different household cleaning products.

Chemical mixtures may interact, with objectionable or even hazardous results.

Do Use

Ceramic glass cleaner-conditioner should be used regularly to clean and protect glass-smooth top cooking surface. If you run out, you may temporarily use baking soda as a cleaning powder.

Do Not Use

1.Household detergents and bleaches.

2.Impregnated plastic or nylon pads.

3.Soap pads; these will scratch and mark.

4.Household abrasive powders except where specified; these may scratch depending on the pressure applied in use.

5.Chemical oven cleaners, e.g. aerosols and oven pads. These are caustic cleaners, and may etch the surface.

6.Rust stain or bath and sink stain removers, as these will mark and etch the surface.

7.Metal scrubbers.

How To Deal With Burned-On Spots

1.Make sure area to be cleaned is warm to the touch.

2.The careful use of a stainless steel razor blade held at approximately 30 degrees to the surface can be used to remove stubborn burned-on spots from the surface.

3.Use cleaner-conditioner, and finally wipe the cooktop clean with a paper towel or damp cloth.

If after the use of recommended materials there are some persistent stains or marks on the cooktop, the unit should be cleaned using a liquid cleanser. This will remove any accumulated residue of cleaner-conditioner, and if applied with a non-impregnated plastic or nylon pad for non-stick pans, for at least three to four minutes, it will also take off the film caused by salts and minerals before it has an opportunity to discolor or develop into a problems. Finish off with a touch of cleaner-conditioner, polish to a high lustre.

Any smearing or streaking on the surface may be removed with lightly dampened paper towel and polished with a soft dry cloth.

Metal Marks

Certain metal pots, especially those with aluminum bottoms may leave marks on the surface, especially if the pan is allowed to slide. Use the cleaner-conditioner before the unit is used again to prevent the mark from baking on the surface.

Caution

Product Damage Hazard

Ceramic glass cleaner-conditioner should be applied regularly after use of other cleaners, otherwise over a period of time the surface of the ceramic glass may roughen, and cleaning will become progressively more difficult. Staining may also occur.

Important Notes

1.In the event of the cooktop being scratched, soil will collect and appear as fine lines. These are not fully removable, but can be minimized by the daily use

of cleaner-conditioner. These scratches do not affect cooking performance.

2.Soil from sugar solutions must be removed from the cooktop before the syrup has set, otherwise it can permanently bond to the ceramic surface.

Electric Surface Elements

Solid Cast Elements

Before using your solid elements for the first time:

Heat the elements at max without a pan for 3 to 5 minutes or until smoking stops. The smoking is normal and non toxic.

Solid elements are sealed with a lacquer coating that prevents corrosion. This coating must be burned into the elements to be effective in protecting against rust. The coating will be transferred to the bottom of pans if this procedure is not done.

Because solid elements are different from coil elements, you can expect to see differences in cooking performance, cleaning and safety.
