Lift-Up Cooktop
(on some models)
Some models have a cooktop that can be lifted up for
easier cleaning. To make cleaning easier, the entire
cooktop may be lifted
up and supported in
the up position.
Be sure all surface units are turned off before
rmsing the cooktop. There are two side supports that
lock into position when the cooktop is lifted up. The
Calrod® units do not need to be removed before lifting.
After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, mild soapy
water and a clean cloth, lower the cooktop. Be carefol
not to pinch your fingers.
To lower the cooktop, push the rods back and gently
lower the cooktop until it rests in place.
