care and cleaning 33 ENGLISH IMPORTANT: If any sugar or food containing sugar (preserves, ketchup, tomato sauce, jellies, fudge, candy, syrups, chocolate,etc.), plastic or foil melts on the cooktop, remove the molten material IMMEDIATELY with a metal razor scraper (it will not damage the decorated cooking surface) while the cooking surface is still hot to avoid the risk of damage to the glass-ceramic surface. For your safety, please wear an oven mitt or potholder while cleaning the hot cooking surface. Metal Marks and Scratches 1. Be careful not to slide pots and pans across the cooktop. Doing so will leave metal markings on the cooktop surface. To help remove these marks, use a ceramic cooktop cleaner with a cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops. 2. If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave black discoloration on the cooktop. This should be removed immediately before heating again or the discoloration may be permanent. CAUTION Cookware with rough or uneven bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. • Do not slide metal or glass across the cooktop surface. • Do not use cookware with any dirt build up on bottom. Cooktop Seal To clean the cooktop seal around the edges of the glass, lay a wet cloth on it for a few minutes, then wipe clean with nonabrasive cleaners. SELF CLEAN The self clean cycle uses extremely hot temperatures to clean the oven cavity. While running the Self Clean cycle, you may notice smoking or an odor. This is normal; especially if the oven is heavily soiled. During Self Clean, the kitchen should be well ventilated to minimize the odors from cleaning. CAUTION • DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance. During the Self Clean cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to touch. • If you have pet birds, move them to another wellventilated room. The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self Clean cycle of any range. • DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil or any other material. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven). • DO NOT force the door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use care when opening the oven door after the Self Clean cycle. 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 starting Self Clean: • Remove the oven racks, broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware, aluminum foil or any other material from the oven. • The kitchen should be well ventilated to minimize the odors from cleaning. • Wipe any heavy spillovers on the bottom of the oven. • Make sure that the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven light is off. • The oven light cannot be turned on during a self clean cycle. The oven light cannot be turned on until the oven temperature has cooled below 500˚F (260˚C) after a self clean cycle is complete.
