33 CARE AND CLEANING
IMPORTANT:
If any sugar or food containing sugar (preserves, ketchup,
tomato sauce, jellies, fudge, candy, syrups, chocolate, etc.),
plastic or foil melts on the cooktop, remove the molten
material IMMEDIATELY with a metal razor scraper (the
scraper will not damage the decorated cooking surface)
while the cooking surface is still hot to avoid the risk of
damage to the glass-ceramic surface. For your safety, use
an oven mitt or potholder while cleaning the hot cooking
surface.
Metal Marks and Scratches
1. Be careful not to slide pots and pans across the
cooktop. Doing so will leave metal markings on the
cooktop surface. To help remove these marks, use
a ceramic cooktop cleaner with a cleaning pad for
ceramic cooktops.
2. If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper
are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave
black discoloration on the cooktop. This should be
removed immediately before heating again or the
discoloration may be permanent.
Cookware with rough or uneven bottoms can mark
or scratch the cooktop surface.
• Do not slide metal or glass across the cooktop
surface.
• Do not use cookware with any dirt buildup on the
bottom.
CAUTION
Cooktop Seal
To clean the cooktop seal around the edges of the glass,
lay a wet cloth on it for a few minutes, then wipe clean
with nonabrasive cleaners.
SELF CLEAN
The Self Clean cycle uses extremely hot temperatures
to clean the oven cavity. While running the Self Clean
cycle, you may notice smoking or an odor. This is normal;
especially if the oven is heavily soiled.
During Self Clean, the kitchen should be well ventilated
to minimize the odors from cleaning.
• DO NOT leave children unattended near the
appliance. During the Self Clean cycle, the outside
of the range can become very hot to touch.
• If you have pet birds, move them to another well-
ventilated room. The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during
the Self Clean cycle of any range.
• DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or
any other part of the range with aluminum foil
or any other material. Doing so will destroy heat
distribution, produce poor baking results and
cause permanent damage to the oven interior
(aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of
the oven).
• DO NOT force the door open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system. Use care when
opening the oven door after the Self Clean cycle.
Stand to the side of the oven when opening the
door to allow hot air or steam to escape. The oven
may still be VERY HOT.
CAUTION
Before Starting Self Clean:
• Remove the oven racks, broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware, aluminum foil or any other material from the
oven.
• The kitchen should be well ventilated to minimize the
odors from cleaning.
• Wipe any heavy spillovers on the bottom of the oven.
• Make sure that the oven light bulb cover is in place and
the oven light is off.
• The oven light cannot be turned on during a self clean
cycle. The oven light cannot be turned on until the
oven temperature has cooled below 500˚F (260˚C) after
a self clean cycle is complete.
