Caring for Your Range
Your range is designed for easy care. You can do most cleaning with items found around
your home. Cleaning your range whenever spills or soiling occurs will help to keep it looking
and operating like new.
Cleaning the cooktop
This cooktop is designed for easy care.
However, ceramic cooktops need to be
maintained differently than standard electric
open-coil elements. Foods spilled directly on
the cooktop will not burn off as on open-coil
elements. Because of this, the surface
should be dust free and soil free before
heating.
Your cooktop has been prepolished at the
factory for improved protection and clean-
ability. The Cooktop Polishing Creme
(included with your range), paper towels or
a sponge, and a single edge razor blade in
a holder is all you need to clean your cook-
top. For proper cleaning methods, please
review “Cleaning tips” on page 28. Follow
them after each use to ensure top perfor-
mance and to preserve that uniquely
elegant look.
NOTE: Let cooktop cool before cleaning.
To avoid damaging the cooktop, follow
these instructions:
l Sugar spills and soils (such as jellies and
candy syrups) can cause pitting on the
cooktop if not removed while the ceramic
surface is still warm. Remove as soon as
possible after the spill occurs.
l Do not use the cooktop as a cutting
board.
l Do not allow anything that could melt
(such as plastic or aluminum foil) to come in
contact with the surface while it is hot.
l Do not use the ceramic cooktop to cook
popcorn that comes in prepackaged
aluminum containers. The container could
leave aluminum marks on the cooktop that
cannot be removed completely.
l Do not use steel wool, plastic cleaning
pads, abrasive powdered cleansers,
chlorine bleach, rust remover, ammonia,
or glass cleaning products with ammonia.
These could damage the cooktop surface.
l Dropping heavy or hard objects on the
cooktop could crack it. Be careful with
heavy skillets. Do not store jars or cans
above the cooktop.
