CARE AND CLEANING

GLASS COOKTOP (Cont.)

Damage from Sugary Spills and Melted Plastic

Special care should be taken when removing hot substances 
to avoid permanent damage of the glass surface. Sugary 
spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy, syrups) or melted 
plastics can cause pitting of the surface of your cooktop 
(not covered by the warranty) unless the spill is removed 
while still hot. Special care should be taken when removing 
hot substances.

Be sure to use a new, sharp razor scraper.

Do not use a dull or nicked blade.

1.  Turn off all surface units. Remove hot pans.

2.   Wearing an oven mitt:

 

a.   Use a single-edge razor blade scraper (CERAMA 

BRYTE® Ceramic Cooktop Scraper) to move the spill 
to a cool area on the cooktop.

 

b.   Remove the spill with paper towels.

3.   Any remaining spillover should be left until the surface of 

the cooktop has cooled.

4.   Don’t use the surface units again until all of the residue 

has been completely removed.

NOTE: If pitting or indentation in the glass surface has 
already occurred, the cooktop glass will have to be replaced. 
In this case, service will be necessary.

DOOR AND DRAWER

Cleaning the Oven Door

Cleaning the Door Interior

Do not allow excess water to run into any holes or slots in the 
door .

Wipe dish soap over any baked-on spatters on the glass. Use 
a single sided safety razor blade to clean it off. Then wipe 
over the glass with a soapy cloth to remove any residue and 
dry off.

The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a soap-filled 
plastic scouring pad. Do not rub or clean the door gasket - it 
has an extremely low resistance to abrasion.

If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged 
in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you 
should have it replaced.

Cleaning the Door Exterior

If a stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild 
abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results. 
Do not use this method on any other surface.

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or 
a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in 
the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for 
cleaning the stainless steel surface.

To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including 
stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, see the Accessories 
and Consumer Support sections at the end of this manual.

Removable Storage Drawer

The storage drawer is a good place to store cookware and 
bakeware. Do not store plastics or flammable material in 
the drawer.

The storage drawer may be removed for cleaning under 
the range. Clean the storage drawer with a damp cloth or 
sponge. Never use harsh abrasives or scouring pads.

Your storage drawer may have plastic slides (shown to 
the right) or metal rails. Follow the respective removal and 
replacement instructions for your model’s configuration.

Removing the Storage Drawer

1.  Pull drawer straight out until it stops.

2.  Continue to pull the drawer until it is detached from 

the oven.

Replacing the Storage Drawer

1.  Rest the left drawer rail around the inner left rail guide 

and slide it in slightly.

2.  Place the right drawer rail around the inner right rail 

guide and slide it in slightly.

3.  Slide the drawer all the way in.
