CARE AND CLEANING
Proper care and cleaning are important so your radiant
cooktop will give you efficient and satisfactory
service. If soil, mineral deposits from evaporated
water spills or metal rub-off from aluminum
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.
Be sure that the surface unit control knobs are
turned off and that the entire cooktop is cool
before cleaning. Do not use a cooktop cleaner on
a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your
health and can chemically attack the glass surface.
BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS OFF AND
ALL SURFACES ARE COOL BEFORE
CLEANING ANY PART OF THE COOKTOP.
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Before removing the knobs for cleaning, please
note that the knobs are in the proper OFF position.
When replacing the knobs, check the OFF position
to insure proper placement.
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). Check the inside of the knob
and find the molded rib.
Wash the knobs in soap and water or a vinegar and
hot water solution but do not soak.
Replace the knob by fitting the molded rib inside
the knob into the clear groove on the stem.

Cooktop Frame
Use the same cleaning methods as those described for the glass ceramic top
with the exception of using a scraper. Do not scrape the frame as this will
damage the metal surface.
