cookware is not removed, it will burn on the glass
cooktop surface and cause permanent discoloration.
Follow these directions carefully in caring for your
cooktop to assure safe and proper maintenance.
Glass Cooktop
Wipe the glass cooktop clean after each use. We
recommend Cook Top Cleaning Creme to clean and
protect your glass top. Do not use a dish towel or
sponge to wipe up the cooktop. They may leave a film
of detergent which can discolor your cooktop when
heated. If this happens, remove the film with the
recommended cleaner. We recommend that you use
paper towels or a clean cloth which is used only for
cleaning the cooktop.

Remove excess soil with a

at about a 30° angle to the
cooktop and scrape off the soil.

Stainless Steel Frame
Use the same cleaning methods as those described for the glass cooktop
surface, with the exception of using a scraper. Do not scrape the frame as
this will damage the metal.
Control Panel and Knobs
It’s a good idea wipe the control panel after each
use of the oven. Clean with mild soap and water or
vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish
dry with a soft cloth.
not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleansers
on the control panel—they will damage the finish.
A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water solution
works well.
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning. The knob stem has a groove in each side.
The groove on one side has a spring clip. The other
groove is clear (see illustration). When removing the
knob, it may be helpful to slip a thin cloth (such as a
handkerchief) or a piece of string under and around
the knob edge and pull up. Check the inside the
knob and find the molded rib. Replace the knob by
fitting the molded rib inside the knob into the clear
groove on the stem. Wash the knobs in soap and
or a vinegar and hot water solution but do not soak.
To clean the outside glass finish, use a glass cleaner.
Do not allow the water or cleaner to run down
openings in the glass while cleaning.
Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and water.
