CARE AND CLEANING
Proper care and cleaning are important so your 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 surface and cause permanent discoloration. Follow these
directions carefully in caring for your cooktop to assure safe and proper
maintenance.
Be sure that controls
are
turned off and that the unit 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
attfick
the surface.
Removal of Packaging Tape
The safest way to remove adhesive left from packing tape on new appliances
to assure no damage is done to the finish of the product is an application of
a household liquid
dishwashing
detergent, mineral oil or cooking oil. Apply
with a soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance
polish to thoroughly clean and protect the surface. This procedure is also
safe for the face of microwave doors and other plastic and
lexan
parts.
NOTE: The plastic tape that is not removed from the chrome trim on range
parts cannot be removed if baked on.
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. Replace the knob by fitting
the molded rib inside the knob into the clear groove
on the stem. Wash the knobs in soap and water or a
vinegar and hot water solution but do not soak.
Hint: Slip a thin cloth (such as a handkerchief or a
piece of string under and around the knob edge and
pull up. Clean the knobs with detergent and warm
water, using
a
soft cloth. Do not scour the knobs.
