Scratches or abrasions
on cooktop surface • Coarse particles such as salt or sand between cooktop and utensils can cause scratches.
Be sure cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils are clean before usage. Small scratches do
not affect cooking and will become less visible with time.
• Cleaning materials not recommended for ceramic-glass cooktop have been used.
See CLEANING THE GLASS/CERAMIC COOKTOP in the CARE AND CLEANING section,
page 31.
• Cookware with rough bottom has been used. Use smooth, flat-bottomed cookware.
Metal marks • Scraping of metal utensils on cooktop surface. Do not slide metal utensils on cooktop
surface. Use a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning cream to remove the marks.

Oven racks are difficult
to slide • Apply a small amount of vegetable oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven
racks with the paper towel.

- This is normal and is done to allow for more even heating during the cycle.
This is not a failure of the range and should be considered normal operation.
