CARE & CLEANING
• Aluminum foil
Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not
use under any circumstances.
• Aluminum utensils
Since the melting point of aluminum is much lower
than that of other metals, care must be taken when
aluminum pots or pans are used. Pans that boil dry
may permanently damage cooktop by breaking, fusing
to, or marking it.
CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE
CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP (CONTINUED)
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:
These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled
or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent
damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur
if not removed immediately. After turning the surface
elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula
with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as
illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same
method for heavy or burned on soils.
Do not use the following on the ceramic glass
cooktop:
• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads,
such as metal and some nylon pads. They may
scratch the cooktop, making it more diffi cult to
clean.
• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine
bleach, ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may
etch or discolor the cooktop.
• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper
towels, as they can leave soil or lint on the
cooktop which can burn and cause Special
Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum
Cooking Utensils
CARE AND CLEANING OF STAINLESS STEEL
Some models are equipped with stainless steel exterior
parts. Special care and cleaning are required for
maintaining the appearance of stainless parts. Refer
to the General Care & Cleaning table for detailed
cleaning instructions.
CAUTION
Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are COOL
before replacing the oven light bulb. Do not turn
the oven light on during a self-cleaning cycle. High
temperature will reduce lamp life.
CAUTION
BE SURE OVEN IS COOL
CHANGING OVEN LIGHT
On some models an interior oven light will turn on
automatically when the oven is opened. The oven light
may be turned on when the door is closed by using the
oven light switch located on the Electronic Oven control.
The oven light bulb is covered with a glass shield held
in place by a wire holder. THIS GLASS SHIELD MUST
ALWAYS BE IN PLACE WHEN THE OVEN IS IN USE.
To Replace the Light Bulb:
1. Turn the power off at the main source.
2. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against
possible broken glass.
3. Replace bulb with a 40 Watt appliance bulb only.
4. For self-cleaning oven, press wire holder to one side
to release glass shield, change bulb and be sure to
replace glass shield.
