Care and Cleaning
Recommendations for cleaning and care of specific cooktop components are
summarized below:
Treating the porcelain components with care will slow the natural deterioration that
takes place with cooktop use. Please follow these guidelines to keep the porcelain
parts looking their best:
1 Do not use utensils having rough bottoms, as this can result in permanent
damage to the top surfaces of the porcelainized grates.
2 Do not drop utensils onto the grates or drag heavy pots across the tops of the
grates.
3 Set the grates into the locating dimples gently. Do not drop the grates into
place.
4 Use caution when cooking to avoid spills as much as possible. Porcelain is
acid-resistant but not acid-proof, so some foods can cause permanent
damage if allowed to remain on porcelain surfaces.
Daily cleaning of the grates, burner heads, and burner caps is best accomplished
with a soft cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of warm water and hand
dishwashing liquid. Grates are dishwasher safe. Burner caps should not be
cleaned in the dishwasher.
Stubborn stains may be removed by applying full-strength, all purpose cleaning
sprays. (If you are unable to locate these cleaning compounds, please phone the
Electrolux Customer Service Department for a referral.)
Mildly abrasive cleaners or applicators, such as soap-filled steel wool pads, may be
used with extreme care on occasion to remove the most serious stains. Exercise
caution – extensive use of abrasives will eventually damage the porcelain
enamel surface.

The grates and burner caps, unlike other porcelain enamel appliances in your home,
are exposed to extremely high temperatures in a matter of seconds. In addition to this
extreme thermal shock, the grates are subjected to mechanical shock when utensils are
placed on or slid across them. Finally, spillovers introduce foods with high acidity to
all of the porcelain components. Due to these severe operating conditions, all porcelain
enamel components on the cooktop will undergo an inevitable change in appearance
with use. Meticulous care and cleaning will slow but not eliminate this natural and
expected aging process.
