Care and cleaning of the cooktop.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the cooktop.
Glass Control Panel
The glass control panel on your cooktop has been
tempered to withstand sudden temperature
changes during cooking. Give it the normal care
you would give any glass material.
While it is impact-resistant, avoid
scratching it to prevent it from shattering.
If the glass is hot, wipe up spills with a dry
cloth or paper towel. When the surface
has cooled, wash, rinse and dry it.
Alternately, when the glass is cool, spray it
with glass or window cleaner. Avoid the
use of cleaning powders or harsh
abrasives that may scratch the surface.
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
OFF
position. When replacing
the knobs, check the
OFF
position to
insure proper placement.
The knob 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 knobs in soap and water but do not
soak. Avoid getting water down into the
knob stem holes.
Replace the knob by fitting the molded
rib inside the knob into the clear groove
on the stem.

How to Remove Packaging Tape
To assure no damage is done to the finish
of the product, the safest way to remove
the adhesive left from packaging tape on
new appliances 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.
NOTE:
The plastic tape must be removed from all
chrome trim. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
Brushed Chrome Cooktop
(on some models)
Clean the brushed chrome top with
warm, soapy water or Bon Ami® brand
cleanser. Rinse and immediately dry it
with a clean, soft cloth. Take care to dry
the surface following the “grain.”
To help prevent finger marks after
cleaning, spread a thin film of baby oil on
the surface or a chrome protectant may
be used to help reduce spotting or
fingerprinting. Wipe away excess oil with
a clean, soft cloth.
