controls are OFF and the range is COOL before cleaning. Failure to do
so can result in burns or electrical shock.

1. Turn off att surface units.

3. IMPORTANT: Dry the element
completely after cleaning. Turn on
the element for a few minutes to
thoroughly dry. After the element
has cooled, use a paper towel to
apply a thin coat of salt-free oil to
the surface units to season and re-
store the finish. Wipe excess oil off
stainless steel trim rings. Then heat
3-5 minutes. Some smoking may
occur; this is normal. If surface units
have dark spots caused by grease
and food, the oil treatment will im-
prove their appearance but not
eliminate the spots. NOTE: Optional
Electrol@ dressing can be applied
to the surface units to improve
their appearance.
2. For best results, wipe off surface
units with a damp soft cloth and
soapy water after each use.
Remove burned-on food with a
soap-filled scrubbing pad. Rinse
well. The red spot in the center of
the surface unit will gradually wash
off. This is normal and will not affect
the operation of the surface unit.
NOTE: Make sure plastic scrub-
bing pad does not contain metal
or abrasive particles. Do not use
abrasive cleaners.
4. The stainless steel trim rings will
gradually yellow from the heat of
the surface units and pans. This is
normal. The yellowing can be
removed by using stainless steel
cleaner or Cook Top Polishing
Creme on the trim rings.

No. 814009) or Electrol@ dressing
