CARE AND CLEANING
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for cleaning.
To remove knob, pull straight off the stem. If
M
knob is difficult to remove, place a thin cloth (like a
handkerchief) or a piece of string under and around
the knob edge and pull up.
Wash knobs in soap and water but do not soak.
Avoid getting water down into the knob stem holes.
To replace knob, locate the groove in each side of
Spring C
the knob stem. One of the grooves contains a spring
clip and the other groove is clear. Locate the molded
e
rib inside the knob. Fit the molded rib into the clear
groove on the knob stem.
Glass Control
The glass control panel on your cooktop has been tempered to withstand
sudden temperature changes during cooking. Give it the normal care you
would give any glass material.
While it is impact-resistant, avoid scratching it to prevent it from shattering.
If the glass is hot, wipe up spills with a dry cloth or paper towel. When the
surface has cooled, wash, rinse and dry it. Alternately, when the glass is
cool, spray it with glass or window cleaner. Avoid the use of cleaning
powders or harsh abrasives that may scratch the surface.
Surface Units
Spatters and spills burn away when coils are
heated. At the end of the meal, heat soiled surface
units at HI. Let soil burn off for about one minute,
then switch surface units to OFF.
Avoid getting any cleaning materials on the coils. If
you do, wipe off with a damp paper towel before
heating the surface unit.
Clean the area under the drip often.
Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch fire. To
make cleaning easier, tilt-lock units lift up and lock in
the up position, and plug-in units are removable.
CAUTION: Be sure all controls are turned to OFF
and surface units are cool before attempting to lift or
remove them.
After lifting the tilt-lock unit or removing a plug-in
unit, remove the drip pan/rings under the plug-in units
and the trim ring and drip pan under the tilt-lock unit.
Wipe around the edges of the surface unit opening.
Clean the area below the unit. Rinse all washed areas
with a damp cloth or sponge.
