CARING FOR YOUR RANGE

CLEANING THE CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP (MODEL RF386PXE)

Your cooktop is designed for easy care. However, you need to maintain your ceramic glass cooktop differently than you would standard electric open- coil elements. Foods spilled directly on the cooktop will not burn off as on open-coil elements. Because of this, you should keep the surface dust free and soil free before heating.

Your cooktop has been prepolished at the factory for improved protection and easier cleaning.

The Cooktop Polish- ing Creme included with your range,

paper towels or a

sponge, and a single-

edge razor blade in a holder (see next page for ordering informa- tion) are all you need

to clean your cooktop. For proper cleaning meth- ods, please review “Cleaning tips” in the next column and on the next page. Follow them each time you use your cooktop. This will ensure you get the best performance out of your cooktop, as well as preserve that uniquely elegant look.

To avoid damaging the cooktop, follow these instructions:

Remove sugar spills and soils from the cooktop while the surface is still warm to avoid pitting on the surface.

Marks from sliding metal pans on the cooktop are difficult to remove completely. Use cooktop polishing creme to clean the area. Several appli- cations may be necessary.

Do not use steel wool, plastic cleaning pads, gritty powdered cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover, ammonia, or glass cleaning products with ammonia. These products could damage the cooktop surface.
