Caring for Your Range

Caring for Your Range

Your range is designed for easy care. You can do most cleaning with items found around your home. Cleaning your range whenever spills or soiling occurs will help to keep it looking and operating like new.

NOTE: Let cooktop cool before cleaning.

Cleaning the cooktop

This cooktop is designed for easy care. However, ceramic cooktops need to be maintained differently than standard electric open-coil elements. Foods spilled directly on the cooktop will not burn off as on open-coil elements. Because of this, the surface should be dust-free and soil-free before heating.

Your cooktop has been prepolished at the factory for improved protection and cleanability. The Cooktop Polishing Creme and razor scraper (both included with your range), and paper towels or a sponge, are all you need to clean your cooktop. For proper cleaning methods, please review “Cleaning tips” on page 30. Follow them after each use to ensure top performance and to preserve that uniquely elegant look.
