CaringForYourCooktop

Burn and Electrical Shock Hazard

Make sure all controls are off and the cooktop is cool before cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical shock.

Control knobs and glass cooktop surface

1. Turn control knobs to the OFF position.

2. Pull control knobs straight off.

3. Use warm, soapy water or spray glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe the glass cooktop surface. Rinse and wipe dry with a soft cloth.

4. Wash control knobs in warm, soapy water. Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Do not soak.

5. Replace control knobs by pushing them firmly into place.

NOTE: When cleaning, never use steel wool, abrasives, or commercial oven cleaners which may damage the finish. After cleaning, make sure all control knobs point to the OFF position.

Solid element surface units

1. For best results, wipe off surface units with a damp soft cloth and soapy water after each use. Remove burned-on food with a soap-filled scouring pad. The red spot in the center of the surface unit will gradually wash off. This is normal and will not affect the operation of the surface unit.

2. IMPORTANT: Dry the element completely after cleaning. Turn on the element for a few minutes to thoroughly dry. After the element has cooled, use a paper towel to apply a thin coat of salt-free oil to the surface units to season and restore the finish. Wipe excess oil off stainless steel trim rings. Then heat 3-5 minutes. Some smoking may occur; this is normal. If surface units have dark spots caused by grease and food, the oil treatment will improve their appearance but not eliminate the spots.

NOTE: Optional Electrol@ dressing can be applied to the surface units to improve their appearance.
