CARE AND CLEANING
Porcelain enamel cooktop cleaning instructions
(some models)
Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining
your porcelain enamel cooktop. If food spills and grease
spatters are not removed, they may burn onto the surface of
the cooktop and cause permanent discoloration.
Daily cleaning for normal soil:
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Wipe off spills and spatters using a clean paper towel or
a clean cloth with warm, soapy water.
3. If needed, use a soapy steel wool pad or other mild
household cleaners.
4. Be sure to rinse off the cleaners or the porcelain may
become damaged during future heating.
Daily cleaning for heavy, burned-on soil:
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Use a soap filled scouring pad with warm water or cover
heavily soiled spots with a solution of clear water and
ammonia. Scour gently. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean
cloth.
3. If any soil remains, apply a few drops of a recom-
mended cooktop cleaning cream on the spots and rub
gently using a clean damp cloth or scouring pad. Buff
with a dry cloth until all soil and cream are removed.
Frequent cleaning with the cooktop cleaning cream
leaves a protective coating which helps in preventing
scratches and abrasions.
Daily cleaning for sugary spill overs:
Sugary spills can chemically damage your cooktop surface.
Therefore, you must begin cleaning the spills while the
cooktop is still hot. Use caution when following the steps
below.
1. Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immedi-
ately.
2. Wearing an oven mitt, wipe up carefully or move hot
spills away from the element area with a clean damp
cloth.
3. Allow the cooktop to cool. Follow the instructions above
for heavy, burned-on soil.
Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The
fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemi-
cally damage the cooking surface.
Before cleaning the surface cooktop, be sure the controls
are turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool. Do not use
commercial oven cleaners on the exterior surfaces
including cooktop and door frame.
WARNING
CAUTION
Cooktop cleaning / polishing cream can be purchased
through authorized service centers or major department
stores.
