CLEANING TIPS FOR RANGE COOKTOP
No maintenance, other than the Care and Cleaning identified in this Use & Care
Manual, should be attempted by the owner/operator. All other maintenance and
service must be performed by a qualified appliance technician.
Read and follow the Care and Cleaning instructions to ensure that proper cooktop
operation and appearance will be maintained throughout the lifetime of the product.
Several materials and finishes are used in the cooktop. Each material and finish
must be properly cleaned according to the following recommendations. Failure to
follow these recommendations may result in permanent damage to the cooktop.
Proper cleaning is necessary to maintain cooktop performance and appearance,
while also ensuring safe operation. The cleaning effort necessary to maintain the
cooktop varies according to the type and amount of cooking. For example, more
frequent cleaning is required if the cooktop is used often for frying or other high
temperature operations.
Clean the cooktop thoroughly prior to operating it the first time. For initial and
everyday cleaning, use a soft cloth or sponge lightly dampened with a solution of
warm water and hand dishwashing liquid to clean all components.
