Introducing your new range

Overview

Before you begin

• Clean the oven thoroughly before using it for the first time. Then, remove the accessories, set the oven to bake, and then run the oven at 400 °F for 1 hour. There will be a distinctive odor. This is normal.
• Ensure your kitchen is well-ventilated during this conditioning period.

Energy saving tips

• During cooking, the oven door should remain closed except when you turn food over. Do not open the door frequently during cooking to maintain the oven temperature and to save energy.
• If cooking time is more than 30 minutes, you can switch the oven off 5-10 minutes before the end of the cooking time to save energy. The residual heat will complete the cooking process.
• To save energy and reduce the time needed for reheating the oven, plan oven use to avoid turning the oven off between cooking one item and the next.
• Whenever possible, cook more than one item at a time.

Surface cooking

About surface cooking

BEFORE COOKING

• Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
• Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used.
• Turn the surface units on only after placing cookware on them.
• Do not store heavy items above the cooktop surface. They could fall and damage it.

DURING COOKING

• Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items, such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrappings on the range when it is in use. The hot air from the vent could melt plastics or ignite flammable items.
• Make sure the correct surface unit is turned on.
• Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.
• Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on.
• Never leave surface units unattended while using a high heat setting. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Turn the surface units off before removing cookware.
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to remove.
• The cooling fan can be operated during cooktop cooking.

AFTER COOKING

• Do not touch the surface units until they have cooled down.
• The surface may still be hot and burns may occur if you touch the glass surface before it has cooled down sufficiently.
• Immediately clean spills on the cooking area to prevent a tough cleaning chore later.
• If cabinet storage is provided directly above the cooking surface, make sure that the items are infrequently used and can be safely stored in an area subjected to heat. Temperatures may be unsafe for items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners, or aerosol sprays.

About the radiant surface elements

• The temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the radiant element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle. For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
• NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.
• NOTE: When you operate the knob, beep sounds once.

Location of the radiant surface elements and controls:

The radiant control knobs operate the radiant surface elements on the cooktop as shown below.

Hot surface indicator

• Comes on when the unit is turned on or hot to the touch.
• Stays on even after the unit is turned off.
• Glows until the unit is cooled to approximately 150 °F.

Cooktop on/off lamp

• The lamp turns on when the surface control knobs are not in off position.
• The lamp turns off when the surface control knobs are in off position.

Cooking areas

• The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent circles on the glass cooking surface. For the most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.
• Pans should not extend more than ½" to 1" beyond the cooking area.
• When a control is turned on, you can see a glow through the glass cooking surface. The element will cycle on and off to maintain the preset heat setting, even at high settings.
• For more information on selecting proper types of cookware, refer to the section "Using the proper cookware" on page 26.

How to set the appliance for surface cooking

CAUTION

• The surface elements may be hot even when off and burns can occur. Do not touch the surface elements until they have cooled down sufficiently.
• At high or medium-high settings, never leave food unattended. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may catch on fire.
• Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you finish cooking

Single surface unit control knob (Left Rear, Right Rear)

1. Push the knob in.
2. Turn in either direction to the setting you want
   • At both the off and high settings, the knob clicks into position.

Dual surface unit control knob (Left Front, Right Front)

1. Push the knob in.
2. Turn in either direction to the setting you want.
   • To use the large surface unit, turn the control knob to the large burner (A) setting.
   • To use the middle surface unit, turn the control knob to the middle burner (B) setting.

NOTE: If you remove the knob for cleaning, make sure to reattach it in the correct orientation. (Refer to the illustration above.)

CAUTION

• Please note, operation of lighting knob may not synchronize with the actual operation of the radiant heater when there is a problem with the product.
• The area on the knob between the high and off settings is not appropriate for cooking.

Recommended settings

Using the warming center

The warming center, located in the back center of the glass surface, will keep hot, cooked food at serving temperature.

NOTE: The surface warmer will not glow red like the cooking elements

CAUTION:

• Do not warm food on the warming center for more than two hours.
• Use only cookware and dishes recommended as safe for oven and cooktop use.
• Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warming center as cookware and plates will be hot.
• When warming pastries and breads, use covers that have an opening to allow moisture to escape.
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean off.
• Food should be kept in its container and covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain food quality.
• Always start with hot food. Eating uncooked or cold food placed on the warming center could result in illness.

1. To turn the warming center on, press the Warming Center On/Off pad.
2. Select the power setting you want. Press the Warming Center Level pad once for Low, twice for Medium, or three times for High.
3. To turn the warming center off, press the Warming Center On/Off pad.

NOTE

• Pressing OFF/CLEAR does not turn the warming center off.
• For best results, all foods on the warming center should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming pastries or breads, the lid or foil should be vented to allow moisture to escape.

Recommended settings

Using the proper cookware

• Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such as uneven cooking or extended cooking times. Using the proper pots and pans will reduce cooking times and cook food more evenly.
• Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware.

Flat bottom and straight sides.

• Tight fitting lids.
• Weight of handle does not tilt pan.
• Pan is well balanced.
• Pan size matches the amount of food to be prepared and the size of the surface element.
• Made of a material that conducts heat well.

Always match pot diameter to element surface diameter.

Choosing the proper cookware

What your cookware is made of determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom.

• ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause the aluminum to darken. (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans are slid across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks that resemble scratches. Remove these marks as soon as the cooktop cools down.
• COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (to remove, see above.)
• STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.
• CAST IRON - A poor conductor; retains heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
• ENAMELWARE - Heating characteristics will vary depending on the base material. Porcelain enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.
• GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the surface.

Protecting the cooktop

Cleaning

• Clean the cooktop before using it for the first time.
• Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage.
• If a spillover occurs while you are cooking, immediately clean the spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe the spill with a clean, dry towel.
• Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the cooktop trim for a long period of time.
• Do not use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads, which will scratch the cooktop.
• Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia, or other cleansers not specifically recommended for use on a glass-ceramic surface.

Preventing marks and scratches

• Do not use glass cookware. It may scratch the cooktop.
• Do not place a trivet or wok ring between the cooktop and the pan. These items can mark or scratch the cooktop.
• Make sure the cooktop and the pan bottom are clean.
• Do not slide metal pans across the cooktop.

Preventing stains

• Do not use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the cooktop surface. A film will remain, which may cause stains on the cooking surface after the area is heated.
• Continuously cooking on a soiled surface can result in a permanent stain.

Preventing other damage

• Do not allow plastic, sugar, or foods with high sugar content to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean immediately.
• Do not let a pan boil dry as this will damage the cooktop and the pan.
• Do not use the cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.
• Do not cook food directly on the cooktop. Always use the proper cookware.

Using the oven racks

Oven rack positions

Rack and Pan placement

• Centering the baking pans in the oven as much as possible will produce better results. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1˝ to 1½˝ of air space around it.
• When baking on a single oven rack, place the oven rack in position 3 or 4. See the figure on the left
• Cakes place the oven racks in positions 3 and 5, Cookies place the racks in positions 2 and 5.

Using Multiple Oven Racks

Before using the racks

• The oven has two racks.
• Each rack has stops that need to be placed correctly on the supports. These stops will keep the rack from coming completely out.

REMOVING THE RACKS

1. Pull the rack straight out until it stops.
2. Lift up the front of the rack, and then pull it out.

REPLACING THE RACKS

1. Place the end of the rack on the support.
2. Tilt the front end up and push the rack in.

CAUTION

• Do not cover a rack with aluminum foil or place aluminum foil on the oven bottom. This will hamper heat circulation, resulting in poor baking, and may damage the oven bottom.
• Arrange the oven racks only when the oven is cool.

Baking:

The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature from 175 °F to 550 °F. Baking temperature and time will vary depending on the ingredients and the size and shape of the baking pan used. Dark or nonstick coatings may cook faster with more browning.

How to set the temperature

1. Press Bake. The default temperature is 350 °F.
2. Enter the temperature you want on the number pad, e.g., 3, 7, 5.
3. Press START/SET. The temperature display will start to change once the oven temperature reaches 175 °F.
4. If you want to cancel baking or if you have finished, press OFF/CLEAR.

Place food in the oven after preheating if the recipe calls for it. Preheating is very important for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry, and breads. After the oven has reached the desired temperature, the range will beep several times.

NOTE: For performance reasons, the convection fan may be turned on or off during the operation.

How to adjust the temperature while cooking

1. Press Bake. The display will show the present temperature, e.g., 375 °F.
2. Enter the temperature you want, e.g., 425 °F, using the number pad.
3. Complete the entry by pressing START/SET.

Convection baking:

• By using the convection bake feature, you will be able to cook faster. Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent results while using multiple racks at the same time. Foods cooked on a single oven rack will generally cook faster and more evenly with convection baking. Multiple oven rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods, but the overall result is time saved. Bread and pastries brown more evenly. You can program the oven for convection baking at any temperature between 175 °F and 550 °F.
• Tips for convection baking
  • The amount of time you save will vary depending on the amount and type of food you are cooking. When baking cookies or biscuits, you should use pans with no sides or very low sides to allow the heated air to circulate around the food. Using a pan with a dark finish will produce faster cooking times.
  • When using convection baking with a single rack, place the oven rack in position 3 or 4. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 3 and 5 or 2 and 5.
  • When baking a cake, using the bake mode (not the convection bake mode) will produce better results.

How to set the oven for convection baking

1. Press Bake . The default temperature is 325 °F.
2. Enter the temperature you want, e.g., 400 °F, using the number pad.
3. Press START/SET. The temperature display will start to change once the oven temperature reaches 175 °F. The range will beep several times when the oven reaches the adjusted oven temperature.
4. To turn off or cancel convection baking, press OFF/CLEAR.
   • The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened.
   • DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.

NOTE:

• If you leave the oven door open for more than 2 minutes when the oven is on, all heating elements will shut off automatically.
• When you have finished cooking, the cooling fan will continue to run until the oven has cooled down.

NOTE: For performance reasons, the convection fan may be turned on or off during the operation.

Convection roasting

• Convection roasting is good for cooking large tender cuts of meat, uncovered. Heat comes from the top heating element. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices quickly for moist and tender results while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.

How to set the oven for convection roasting

1. Press Roast. The default temperature is 325 °F.
2. Enter the temperature you want, e.g., 400 °F, using the number pad.
3. Press START/SET. The temperature display will start to change once the oven temperature reaches 175 °F. The range will beep several times when the oven reaches the adjusted oven temperature.
4. To turn off or cancel convection roasting, Press OFF/CLEAR.
   • The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened.
   • DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.

NOTE:

• If you leave the oven door open for more than 2 minutes when the oven is on, all heating elements will shut off automatically.
• When you have finished cooking, the cooling fan will continue to run until the oven has cooled down

NOTE: For performance reasons, the convection fan may be turned on or off during the operation.

Broiling

• Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven.
• The high heat cooks quickly and gives a rich, brown outer appearance. Broil mode is best for meats, fish, and poultry up to 1" thick.
• Always preheat the oven for 4 minutes before broiling.

How to set the oven for broiling

1. Press Broil once for Hi or twice for Lo. Use Lo to cook foods such as poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without over-browning them.
2. To start broiling, press START/SET. Broil one side until the food is browned. Turn over and broil the other side.
3. Press OFF/CLEAR once you have finished cooking or if you want to cancel broiling.

Using the special function

Dehydrate: Dehydrate dries food or removes moisture from food via heat circulation. After drying the food, keep it in a cool and dry place. For fruit, adding lemon, pineapple juice, or sprinkling sugar on the fruit helps the fruit retain sweetness. See the table below for Dehydrate settings.

1. Press Dehydrate.
2. Press START/SET.
3. Press OFF/CLEAR at any time to turn off the Dehydrate feature.

NOTE: Use rack position 3 or 4 for dehydrating

Bread Proof: The Bread Proof function automatically provides the optimum temperature for the bread proof process and, therefore does not have a temperature adjustment. If you press Bread Proof when the oven temperature is above 95 °F, Hot will appear in the display. Because these functions produce the best results when started while the oven is cool, we recommend that you wait until the oven has cooled down and Hot disappears from the display.

1. Press Bread Proof.
2. Press START/SET.
3. Press OFF/CLEAR at any time to turn off the Bread Proof feature. NOTE Use rack position 3 for bread proofing.

CAUTION

• Do not use Bread proof for warming food. The proofing temperature is not hot enough to keep food warm.
• Place the dough in a heat-safe container on rack position 3 and cover it with a cloth or with plastic wrap. The plastic wrap may need to be anchored underneath the container so that the oven does not blow the plastic wrap off the dough.
• To avoid lowering the temperature and extending proofing time, do not open the oven door.

Using the keep warm feature

When cooking is finished, Keep Warm will hold the food at a safe serving temperature for up to 3 hours. After 3 hours, the feature will shut off automatically. You can use the keep warm feature without any other cooking operations, or you can set it to activate after a timed or delay timed cooking operation. You should not use this feature to reheat cold food.

• Do not cover the surface cooktop with a blech.

Maintaining your appliance

Self-cleaning

This self-cleaning oven uses high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) to burn off leftover grease and residue completely or reduce them to a finely powdered ash that you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

CAUTION:

• During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the range will become very hot to the touch. Do not leave small children unattended near the appliance.
• Some birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the selfcleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
• Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will result in poor heat distribution, poor baking results, and cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Aluminum foil will melt and adhere to the interior surface of the oven.
• Do not force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use care when opening the oven door after the self-cleaning cycle is complete. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

Before a self-cleaning cycle

• We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the selfcleaning cycle.
• Remove the wire rack, broil pan, broil pan insert, all cookware, and any aluminum foil from the oven.
• Wipe up debris from the oven bottom. (Fig.1)
• The silver-colored oven racks can be self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose their luster, and become hard to slide.
• Residue on the front frame of the range and outside the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads, or cleansers, such as Soft Scrub. Rinse well with clean water and dry.
• Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed, have it replaced. (Fig.2)
• Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven light is off.

NOTE: Remove oven racks and accessories before starting the self-clean mode.

How to run a self-cleaning cycle

1.Select the length of time for the self-cleaning operation, e.g., 3 hours. Press Self Clean once for a 3 hour clean time, twice for a 5 hour clean time, or 3 times for a 2 hour clean time The default setting is 3 hours.

2. Press START/SET to start the self-cleaning cycle. The motor-driven door lock will engage automatically

• You will not be able to start a self-cleaning cycle if the Oven lock feature is activated or if the oven’s temperature is too hot.
• The oven door locks automatically. The display will show the cleaning time remaining. It is not be possible to open the oven door until the temperature drops to a safe and cool temperature.
• The self-cleaning feature will not operate when the warming center is on

3. When the self-cleaning cycle is done, End will appear in the display and the range will beep several times.

How to delay the start of self-cleaning

1. Press Self Clean. Select the desired self-clean time by pressing Self Clean.
2. Press Delay Start.
3. Enter the time you want the clean cycle to start.
4. Press START/SET. The display will show Delay, Self clean, and the Lock icon. The motor-driven door lock will engage automatically.
5. The Self-Cleaning cycle will turn on automatically at the set time.

How to turn off the self-cleaning feature: You may find it necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to smoke in the oven.

1. Press OFF/CLEAR.
2. You will be able to open the oven door once the oven has cooled down for approximately 1 hour.

After a self-cleaning cycle

• You may notice some white ash in the oven. Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools. (If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled steel wool pad and rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture).
• If the oven is not clean after one cycle, repeat the cycle.
• You cannot set the oven for cooking until the oven is cool enough for the door to unlock.

Steam-cleaning

How to set the oven for steam-cleaning:

For light cleaning, the steam-cleaning function saves time and energy. For heavierduty cleaning, use the self-cleaning function.

1. Remove all accessories from the oven.

2. Pour approximately 10 oz. (300 ml) of water onto the bottom of the empty oven and then close the oven door. Use normal water only, not distilled water.

3. Press Steam Clean.

4. Press START/SET. When the operation is complete, the display will blink and a beep will sound.

5. Press OFF/CLEAR.

6. Clean the oven’s interior. There will be a significant amount of water remaining on the bottom of the oven after a steam-cleaning cycle. Remove the residual water with a sponge or soft dry cloth.

NOTE: When steam-cleaning, use exactly 10 oz. of water since this produces the best results.

NOTE: If you press Steam Clean when the oven temperature is above 100˚F, Hot will appear in the display. Because this function produces the best results when started while the oven is cool, we recommend that you wait until the oven has cooled down and Hot disappears from the display.

After a steam-cleaning cycle

• Take care when opening the door before a steam-cleaning procedure has ended. The water on the bottom is hot.
• Open the oven door and remove the remaining water with a sponge. Do not leave the residual water in the oven for any length of time. Wipe the oven clean and dry with a soft cloth. Do not forget to wipe under the oven door seal.
• Use a detergent-soaked sponge, a soft brush, or a nylon scrubber to wipe the oven interior. Remove stubborn residue with a nylon scourer. You can remove lime deposits with a cloth soaked in vinegar.
• If the oven remains dirty, you can repeat the procedure once the oven has cooled.
• For heavy residue, such as grease left over from roasting, we recommend that you rub detergent into the residue before activating the steam-cleaning function.
• After cleaning, leave the oven door ajar at a 15° angle to allow the interior enamel surface to dry thoroughly

Care and cleaning of the oven

WARNING

• Be sure all controls are OFF and all surfaces are COOL before cleaning any part of the range.

• If your range is moved for cleaning, servicing, or any reason, be sure the Anti-Tip device is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. If you fail to reengage the Anti-Tip device, the range could tip and cause serious injury.

Vent

• The oven vent is located above the left rear surface unit.
• This area could become hot during oven use.
• It is normal for steam to come out of the vent.
• The vent is important for proper air circulation. Never block this vent.

Cleaning painted parts and decorative trim

• For general cleaning, use a cloth with hot, soapy water.
• For more difficult residue and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the area and leave for 30 to 60 minutes. Wipe with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any of these surfaces. They can scratch.

Cleaning stainless steel surfaces

1. Shake the bottle of Stainless Steel Appliance Cleaner or Polish well.
2. Place a small amount of Stainless Steel Appliance Cleaner or Polish on a damp cloth or damp paper towel.
3. Clean a small area, rubbing with the grain of the stainless steel if applicable.
4. Dry and buff with a clean, dry paper towel or soft cloth.
5. Repeat as necessary

NOTE

• Do not use a steel-wool pad. It will scratch the surface.
• If a mineral oil-based STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCE CLEANER has been used before to clean the appliance, wash the surface with dishwashing liquid and water prior to using the STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCE CLEANER or POLISH.

Oven racks

• If the racks are left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle, their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the self-cleaning cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of oil. This will help the racks glide more easily on their tracks.
• NOTE
  • Do not clean in a dishwasher.
  • If the rack becomes hard to remove or replace, lightly wipe the oven rack guides with cooking oil. Do not wipe cooking oil on the slides.
  • If the rack becomes difficult to slide, the rack may need to be lubricated using a graphite lubricant.

Oven door

• Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides, and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. DO NOT immerse the door in water. DO NOT spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents. DO NOT use oven cleaners, cleaning powders, or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door.
• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material, which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove this gasket.

Care and cleaning of the glass cooktop

CAUTION: Do not block the vent and cooling motors or let any foreign matter get into them when cleaning the cooktop.

Normal daily use cleaning: Use only a ceramic cooktop cleaner. Other creams may not be as effective. By following these steps, you can maintain and protect the surface of your glass cooktop.

1. Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with a ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps protect the top and makes cleanup easier.
2. Daily use of a ceramic cooktop cleaner will help keep the cooktop looking new.
3. Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few drops of cleaner directly to the cooktop.
4. Use a paper towel or a cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops to clean the entire cooktop surface.
5. Use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning residue. No need to rinse.

WARNING: DAMAGE to your glass surface may occur if you use scrub pads other than those recommended.

Removing burned-on residue

1. Allow the cooktop to cool.
2. Spread a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleaner on the entire burned residue area.
3. Using a cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops, rub the residue area, applying pressure as needed.
