CARE AND CLEANING
(continued next page)
Lift-Up Cooktop
Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up
soil, especially grease, may catch fire.
To make cleaning easier, the entire cooktop may be
lifted up and secured with the support rod.
Be sure all surface units are turned off
before raising the cooktop. After cleaning under the
cooktop with hot, mild soapy water and a clean cloth,
lower the cooktop. Be careful not to pinch your fingers.
Porcelain Enamel Finish (on some models)
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but
breakable if misused. This finish is acid-resistant.
However, any acid foods spilled (such as fruit juices,
tomato or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain
on the finish.
Avoid cleaning powders or harsh abrasives which
may scratch the enamel.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a
dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away.
When the surface has cooled, wash with soap and
water. Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat smatterings, wash
with soap and water after the surface has cooled.
Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
Brushed Chrome Finish (on some models)
Clean the brushed chrome top with warm,
soapy water or Bon
brand cleanser and
immediately dry it with a clean, soft cloth. Take
care to dry the surface following the “grain.” To help
prevent finger marks after cleaning, spread a thin film
of baby oil on the surface. Wipe away excess oil with
a clean, soft cloth.
