How to Remove Packaging Tape.

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the
product, the safest way to remove the adhesive left
from packaging tape on new appliances is an application
of a household liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral
oil or cooking oil. Apply with a soft cloth and allow
to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish
to thoroughly clean and protect the surface. 

NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from the
chrome trim on cooktop parts. It cannot be removed if 
it is baked on.

Write down the model and serial numbers.

You’ll find them on a label located in the burner box
under the cooktop. 

These numbers are also on the Consumer Product
Ownership Registration Card that came with your
cooktop. Before sending in this card, please write
these numbers here:

Model Number

Serial Number

Use these numbers in any correspondence or service
calls concerning your cooktop.

If you received a damaged cooktop…

Immediately contact the dealer (or builder) that sold
you the cooktop.

Save time and money. 
Before you request service…

Check the Problem Solver in the back of this guide. It
lists causes of minor operating problems that you can
correct yourself.
