Caring For Your Cooktop
A
warning
Burn And Electrical Shock Hazard
Make sure all controls are OFF and
the cooktop is cool before cleaning.
Failure to do so can result in burns
or electrical shock.
The control knobs
1. Turn control knobs to the OFF
position.
2. Pull knobs straight off.
3. Wash in warm, soapy water.
4. Rinse well and dry completely. Do
not soak.
The control panel
1. Wipe with warm, soapy water or
spray glass cleaner, and soft cloth.
2. Rinse well.
3. Dry with soft cloth.
4. Replace control knobs by pushing
them firmly into place.
NOTE; Make sure all control knobs
point to the OFF position.
When cleaning, never use steel wool,
abrasives, or commercial oven
cleaners which may damage finish.
Surface units and reflector
bowls
Removing
1. Lift the edge of the unit opposite
the receptacle, just enough to clear
the reflector bowl.
2. Pull the surface unit straight away
from the receptacle.
Solid element surface units
(Model CEX215V)
3. Lift out the reflector bowl. See
Cleaning Chart on page 6 for
cleaning instructions.
Replacing
1. Line up openings in the reflector
bowl with the surface unit
receptacle.
2. Hold the surface unit as level as
possible with the terminal just
started into the receptacle. Push the
surface unit terminal into the
receptacle.
3. When the terminal is pushed into
the receptacle as far as it will go,
the surface unit will fit into the
reflector bowl.
Reflector bowls reflect heat back to the
utensils on the surface units. They also
help catch spills. When they are kept
clean, they reflect heat better and look
new longer.
If a reflector bowl gets discolored, some
of the utensils may not be flat enough, or
some may be too large for the surface
unit. In either case, some of the heat
that’s meant to go into or around a
utensil goes down and heats the
reflector bowl. This extra heat can
discolor it.
A
warning
Fire And Electrical Shock Hazard
Do not line the reflector bowls with
foil. Fire or electrical shock could
result.
1. For best results, wipe off surface
units with a damp soft cloth and
soapy water after each use.
Burned-on food may be removed
with a soapy scouring pad. The red
spot in the center of the surface
unit wiU gradually wash off. This is
normal and will not affect the
operation of the surface unit.
2. IMPORTANT: After cleaning, apply
a thin coat of salt-free oil to the
COOL surface units, then heat 3 - 5
minutes. It may still smoke slightly
when heated. If surface units have
dark spots caused by grease and
food, the oil treatment will improve
their appearance but not eliminate
the spots.
NOTE: Optional Electrol® dressing
can be applied to the surface units
to improve their appearance.
3. The stainless steel trim rings will
yellow from the heat of the surface
units and pans. This is normal. The
yellowing can be removed by using
stainless steel cleaner or Cook Top
Polishing Creme on the trim rings.
