Porcelain enamel cooktop cleaning instructions

 (some models)

 

Do not

 use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemically

damage the cooking surface.

Before cleaning the surface cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool.

 

DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners

 on the

 exterior

 surfaces including rangetop and door frame.

PORCELAIN ENAMEL COOKTOP CLEANING

Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your porcelain enamel cooktop. If food spills and grease spatters are not
removed, they may burn onto the surface of the cooktop and cause permanent discoloration.

DAILY CLEANING

For normal soil:

1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Wipe off spills and spatters using a clean paper towel or a clean cloth with warm, soapy water.
3. If needed, use a soapy steel wool pad or other mild household cleaners.
4. Be sure to rinse off the cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating.

For heavy, burned-on soil:
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Use a soap filled scouring pad with warm water or cover heavily soiled spots with a solution of clear water and ammonia. Scour gently.
Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
3. If any soil remains, apply a few drops of a recommended cooktop cleaning cream on the spots and rub gently using a clean damp
cloth or scouring pad. Buff with a dry cloth until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning with the cooktop cleaning cream
leaves a protective coating which helps in preventing scratches and abrasions.

For sugary spillovers:
Sugary spills can chemically damage your cooktop surface. Therefore, you must begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop is still hot.
Use caution when following the steps below.
1.

Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.

2.

Wearing an oven mitt, wipe up carefully or move hot spills away from the element area with a clean damp cloth.

3.

Allow the cooktop to cool. Follow the instructions above for heavy, burned-on soil.

COOKTOP CLEANING / POLISHING CREAM can be purchased through authorized service centers or major department stores.

INSTRUCTIONS

Use a damp sponge or dampened soap pad, rinse and dry.

Use a clean soapy, dampened cloth or paper towel, remove
soil and dry. Do not use abrasive products.
