Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning
The entire cooktop can be safely cleaned by wiping with
a soapy sponge, then rinsing and drying. If stubborn soil
remains, follow the recommended cleaning methods
below.
Cleaning recommendations:
▯ Always use the mildest cleaner that will do the job.
Use clean, soft cloths, sponges or paper towels.
▯ Never use abrasive products, steel scourers, sharp
utensils, knives, etc. to remove bits of hardened food
from the cooktop.
▯ Do not use knives, scrapers or similar utensils to clean
the point where the glass meets the burner trims, the
metal frames or the glass/aluminum panels, if fitted.
▯ Before cleaning, be certain the burners are turned off
and the grates and burners are cool.
▯ Do not clean removable cooktop parts in any self
cleaning oven.
▯ After cleaning, place all parts in their proper positions
before using cooktop.
▯ For proper burner performance, keep igniters clean
and dry.
▯ Keep the igniter ports clean for proper lighting
performance of the burners. It is necessary to clean
these when there is a boilover or when the burner
does not light even though the electronic igniters click.
▯ Do not use flammable cleansers such as lighter fluid.
9 CAUTION
All igniters spark when any single burner is turned
on. Do not touch any of the burners when the
cooktop is in use.
