CARE AND CLEANING
Proper care and cleaning are important so your
cooktop will give you efficient and satisfactory
service. Follow these directions carefully in caring
for it.
Before cleaning any part of your cooktop, be sure all
burners are off and DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL
POWER TO THE COOKTOP at the fuse box or
circuit breaker panel, or pull the cooktop power plug,
located beneath the cooktop and inside the cabinets.
Glass Cooktop
To keep the cooktop looking its best, wipe up any
spills as they occur. This will keep them from burning
on and becoming more difficult to remove.
As soon as the cooktop is cool, wash the glass surface
with a cloth moistened with warm, soapy water; rinse
with clean water, and dry with a soft cloth. You can
use any liquid household detergent.
Do not use abrasive materials such as metal pads,
cleansing powder and scouring pads—they may
scratch the surface. Do not use harsh chemicals such
as bleach or chemical oven cleaners.
CAUTION: DO NOT COOK ON OR CLEAN A
BROKEN OR CRACKED COOKTOP. Cleaning
solutions and spillovers penetrating the cooktop can
create a risk of electric shock. Call for a service
technician immediately.
Grease Filters
The efficiency of your downdraft depends on a clean
filter. Frequency of cleaning depends on the type of
cooking you do. Grease filters should be cleaned at
least once a month. Never operate the downdraft
without the filters in place.
To remove: Lift up and pull the bottom out. Remove
the left filter first, then slide the right filter to the left
and remove it.
To clean: Soak and then agitate in a hot detergent
solution. Light brushing may be used to remove
imbedded soil. Rinse, shake and remove moisture
before replacing. Filters may be cleaned by placing in
dishwasher, although some slight color fading may
occur after several washings.
With careful handling, the filter will last for years. If
replacement becomes necessary, order the part from
your dealer.
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for cleaning.
To remove knob, pull it straight up.
Wash knobs in soap and water but do not soak.
Avoid getting water down into the knob stem holes.
