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.

Filters

To remove the filters, raise the vent to the fully
extended position. Remove the front grille by pulling
the top edge forward and lifting away the panel. Lift
out the 2 filters.

Clean the filters by agitating in a hot detergent
solution or wash them in the dishwasher. The efficiency
of the vent system depends on how clean the filters
are. The filters can become soiled in a short time and
should be cleaned frequently for best performance.

After cleaning, replace the filters and the front grille.

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.
