Wipe the control panel clean after each use. Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to
OFFand remove the control knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using hot,
soapy water and a cloth. Be sure to squeeze excesswater from the cloth before wiping the panel;
espedally when wiping arou nd the controls. Excesswater in or around the controls may cause damage
to the applia nce. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sidesof both the knob and the shaft;
then push the knob into place.
Surface elements can be unplugged and removed to make cleaning the drip bowls easier. The surface
elements dean themselves when they areturned on. Foodspilled on a hot element will burn off. Food
spilled on acool element can be cleaned with adamp cloth--any remaining soil will burn offthe next
time the element is used. NEVERIMMERSE A SURFACEELEMENT IN WATER. To remove surface
elements and drip bowls, follow the instructions under General Cleaning.
To clean drip bowls, wash in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinseand dry while still warm.
Hard-to-remove, burned-on soils can be removed by soaking the drip bowls for about 20 minutes
in a slightly diluted liquid cleanser or asolution made of equal parts ammonia and water. A nylon
scrubber may be used after soaking. DO NOT useabrasive cleansers or steel wool, asthey will scratch
the surface. Always rinse with clean water and polish, and dry with a soft cloth or paper towel. To
replace drip bowls and surface elements, follow the instructions under General Cleaning.
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinsewith a 1:1 solution of clear
water and ammonia. If necessary,cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30
to 40 minutes. Rinsewith clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with asoap-filled scouring
pad. Rinseand wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may
become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop.
Cover stubborn spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinsewith clean
water and a cloth. A soapy, nylon mesh scouring pad may be used carefully on stainless steel; not
on chrome. Cleaners made especially for stainless steel, chrome or copper are also recommended.
Do not use metal-type scouring pads on brushed chrome. This could causethe brushed chrome to
change to a yellowish tint. Rinse all cleaners before operating cooktop. Bluish stains may result due
to heat combining with the cleaning material and they cannot be removed.
