COOKTOP CARE

General Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the cooktop is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning
products.

Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless
otherwise noted.

CERAMIC GLASS (on some models)

Cleaning Method:

Always wipe with a clean, wet cloth or sponge and dry thoroughly
to prevent streaking and staining.

Cooktop Polishing Creme is recommended for regular use to help
prevent scratches, pitting and abrasions, and to condition the
cooktop. It may be ordered as an accessory. See “Assistance or
Service” to order.

A Cooktop Scraper is also recommended for stubborn soils, and
can be ordered as an accessory. See “Assistance or Service” to
order. The Cooktop Scraper uses razor blades. Store razor
blades out of the reach of children.

Light to moderate soil

Paper towels or clean damp sponge:

Clean while the cooktop is still warm. You may want to wear
oven mitts while doing so.

Sugary spills (jellies, candy, syrup)

Cooktop Scraper:

Clean while the cooktop is still warm. You may want to wear
oven mitts while cleaning the cooktop.

Cooktop Polishing Creme and clean damp paper towel:

Clean as soon as cooktop has cooled down. Rub creme into
surface with a damp paper towel or soft cloth. Continue
rubbing until white film disappears.

Heavy soil, dark streaks, specks and discoloration

Cooktop Polishing Creme or nonabrasive cleanser:

Rub product into soil with a damp paper towel or soft cloth.
Continue rubbing until white film disappears.

Burned-on soil

Cooktop Polishing Creme and Cooktop Scraper:

Rub creme into soil with damp paper towel. Hold scraper as
flat as possible on surface and scrape. Repeat for stubborn
spots. Polish entire cooktop with creme and paper towel.

Metal marks from aluminum and copper

Cooktop Polishing Creme:

Clean as soon as cooktop has cooled down. Rub creme into
surface with a damp paper towel or soft cloth. Continue
rubbing until white film disappears. The marks will not totally
disappear but after many cleanings become less noticeable.

Tiny scratches and abrasions

Cooktop Polishing Creme:

Rub creme into surface with a damp paper towel or soft
cloth. Continue rubbing until white film disappears. Scratches
and abrasions do not affect cooking performance and after
many cleanings become less noticeable.

Do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine
bleach, rust remover or ammonia because damage may occur.

COOKTOP CONTROLS

Cleaning Method:

Soap and water or dishwasher: Pull knobs straight away from
control panel to remove.

Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleansers or oven cleaner.

Do not soak knobs.

When replacing knobs, make sure knobs are in the Off position.

On some models, do not remove seals under knobs.
