Cooktop Surface
To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel
surface of the cooktop and to prevent it
from becoming dull, clean up spills right
away. Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with
high sugar content could cause a dull spot
if allowed to set.
When the surface has cooled, wash and
rinse. For other spills such as fat spatterings,
etc., wash with soap and water once the
surface has cooled. Then rinse and polish
with a dry cloth.
Be careful when you clean the cooktop
because the area over the pilot will be hot
(on models with standing pilots).
NOTE:
Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner
models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage
and improper operation of the range.
NOTE:
Do not store flammable materials in
an oven or near the cooktop. Do not store or
use combustible materials, gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
Lift-Up Cooktop
(on models with standard twin burners)
Clean the area under the cooktop often.
Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch
on fire.
To make cleaning easier, the cooktop may
be lifted up.
NOTE:
Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner
models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage
and improper operation of the range.
To raise the cooktop:
Be sure the burners are turned off.
Remove the grates and drip pans
(if so equipped).
Grasp the two front burner wells and
lift up.
Clean under the cooktop with hot, soapy
water and a clean cloth. If you removed
your surface burners while cleaning,
make sure they are properly seated when
replacing them.
After cleaning, lower the cooktop (be
careful not to pinch your fingers). Lower
cooktop gently to avoid blowing out pilot
flames (on standing pilot models).
Replace drip pans (if so equipped) and
grates.
Some models have dual support rods
that will hold the cooktop up while
you clean underneath it.
