General Cleaning
(continued)
Sealed Burner Models
(some models)
Unlike the standard gas range,
THIS COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE
. Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to
OFF
and the cooktop is COOL.
DO NOT
use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can
chemically damage the ceramic- glass surface. Be sure the controls are turned to
OFF
.
Do not use commercial oven
cleaners on any part of the cooktop. Damage to the finish or parts could result.
To Clean the Tempered-glass Cooktop
(some models)
The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the four burners are sealed, cleanups are
easy when spillovers are cleaned up immediately. To clean, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe
dry.
Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your heat-resistant glass top. Spills and
spatters should be wiped up using a clean paper towel and sudsy water. This should be done either
as soon as possible after spill occurs, after cooking is completed, or at the latest, before using the
cooktop again. Use caution if the cooktop is hot. For heavy spills, spatter or burned-on materials, use
razor blade scraper. Hold the razor blade scraper at a 30° angle and remove food spills or burned on
food residue.
For sugary spillovers:
Sugary spills can cause pitting of your cooktop surface. Therefore, you must begin cleaning the spills
while the cooktop is still hot.
Finish the cleaning process
by applying a recommended heat- resistant glass cooktop cleaning
cream
. Apply cleaner with clean, damp paper towel. Rinse with a paper towel dampened with clean
water and wipe dry.
Always wipe the cooktop thoroughly to avoid heating any cleaner residue.
Do NOT use the following on the heat-resistant glass cooktop:
-
Abrasive plastic, nylon, metal scouring or cloth pads. They may scratch the cooktop and make it more difficult to clean later.
Always use a new, clean paper towel when cleaning the heat-resistant glass top.
-
Anything that may melt (plastics, aluminum foil, sugar or food with a high sugar content).
-
Heavy duty cleansers, rust or stain removers.
-
Chlorine bleach, ammonia, hydrofluoric acid or any other kind of chemical cleaners. They may etch or discolor the cooktop.
-
Sponges, cloths or dish towels. Always use a new, clean paper towel when cleaning the cooktop. Lint or soil remaining on the
cooktop from a cloth or sponge can burn and cause discoloration.
