CARE AND CLEANING
Cooktop Maintenance (cont’d)
Aluminum Foil and Utensils
Cleaning under bake element (some models)
The bake element is located in the lower oven cavity. For
some models, if the lower bake element is visible it may be
tilted up for easier access to the oven bottom for cleaning.
Remove the oven racks before raising the element. Be
careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches
from the resting position.
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you
use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning
products that have been specifically designed for ceramic
glass cooktops.
Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such
as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat,
causing a fire hazard.
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line the
oven bottom. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock or fire.
• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop
can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum
cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the
surface elements under any circumstances.
• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is
much lower than that of other metals. Care must be
taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the
cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry
when using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be
damaged or destroyed, but it may fuse to, break, or
mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently
damaging the cooktop surface.
