Care and Cleaning
Halogen/Radiant Cooktop
Proper care and cleaning are important so your
halogen/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.

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. 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.

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.
