Care and cleaning of the cooktop.  GEAppliances.com
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the cooktop.
How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective 
shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel 
it from the appliance surface. Do not use any 
sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of 
the film before using the appliance for the first 
time.
To assure no damage is done to the finish of 
the product, the safest way to remove the 
adhesive left from packaging tape on new 
appliances is an application of a household 
liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft 
cloth and allow to soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from 
all parts before using the cooktop. It cannot be 
removed if it is baked on.
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier 
cleaning.
Make sure the knobs are in the OFF positions 
and pull them straight off the stems for 
cleaning.
The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher or 
they may also be washed with soap and water. 
Make sure the insides of the knobs are dry 
before replacing.
Replace the knobs in the OFF  position to 
ensure proper placement.
Pull the knob straight up off the stem.
Porcelain Enamel Cooktop (on some models)
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but 
breakable if misused. This finish is acid-
resistant. However, any acidic foods spilled 
(such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar) should 
not be permitted to remain on the finish.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use 
a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right 
away. When the surface has cooled, wash with 
an all-purpose cleaner and water. Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash with 
soap and water or an all-purpose cleaner after 
the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a 
dry cloth.
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the 
surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm 
sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or 
polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction 
of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for 
cleaning the stainless steel surface.
