Caring for Your Cooktop wWARNING Explosion Hazard Do not store flammable materials such as gasoline near this appliance. Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire. Cleaning the cooktop and control panel This cooktop is designed for easy care. However, ceramic glass cooktops need to be maintained differently than standard electric coil elements. Foods spilled directly on the cooktop will not burn off as on coil elements. Because of this, the surface should be dust-free and soil-free before heating. The Cooktop Polishing Creme included with your cooktop, paper towels or a sponge is all you need to clean your cooktop. For proper cleaning methods, please review the "How to keep your cooktop looking like new" chart. Follow this chart after each use to ensure top performance and to preserve that uniquely elegant look. NOTE: Let cooktop cool before cleaning. • Activate control lock on electronic touch control models (see page 7). Cleaning the control knobs 1. Make sure all control knobs are turned to OFF. 2. Pull the control knobs straight off. Do not remove seals under knobs. They keep moisture and soil out of cooktop. 3. Wash control knobs with sponge and warm, soapy water. Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Do not soak. 4. Replace control knobs by pushing them firmly into place. Make sure all knobs point to OFF. NOTE: When cleaning, never use steel wool, abrasives, or commercial oven cleaners, which may damage the finish. 12
