Downdraft Gas Cooktop
10
General
information
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.
