COOKTOP FINISH
Glass
GLASS COOKTOP
The glass on your cooktop has been
fully tempered to withstand the sud-
den temperature changes it will ex-
perience during cooking. It is also
highly impact resistant. Treat this
glass with the normal care you would
give any glass material. To clean, see
Cleaning Chart, "GLASS," Page 24.
PORCELAIN ENAMEL
PORCELAIN ENAMEL COOKTOP
The porcelain enamel finish of the
burner plate (C) and the cooktop are
acid resistant, butnot acid proof. Acid
foods, such as citric juices, tomatoes,
rhubarb, vinegar, alcohol or milk,
should be wiped up immediately. If
not removed, they may affect the
porcelain finish. Use a paper towel or
dry cloth on warm surfaces.
Other food soils can be wiped up
with warm soapy water after the
cooktop has cooled. Rinse and wipe
dry. To clean, see Cleaning Chart,
"PORCELAIN ENAMEL," Page 25.
See "Stainless Steel" info on Page 25.
DO NOT CLEAN ANY REMOVABLE COOKTOP PARTS IN
ANY SELF-CLEANING OVEN. DO NOT USE THE COOKTOP
WITHOUT THE BURNER GRATES IN PLACE. BE SURE ALL
BURNERS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION BEFORE WIPING OR
CLEANING COOKTOP.
