2. Do not drop utensils onto the grates or drag heavy
pots across the tops of the grates.
3. Set the grates into the locating dimples gently. Do
not drop the grates into place.
4. Use caution when cooking to avoid spills as much
as possible. Porcelain is acid-resistant but not acid-
proof, so some foods can cause permanent
damage if allowed to remain on porcelain surfaces.
Daily cleaning of the grates, burner heads, and burner
caps is best accomplished with a soft cloth or sponge
dampened in a solution of warm water and hand
dishwashing liquid. Grates are dishwasher safe. Burner
caps should not be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Stubborn stains may be removed by applying full-
strength, all purpose cleaning sprays. (If you are un-
able to locate these cleaning compounds, please phone
the Electrolux Customer Service Department for a re-
ferral.)
Mild abrasive cleaners or applicators, such as soap-
filled steel wool pads, may be used with extreme care
on occasion to remove the most serious stains. Exer-
cise caution – extensive use of abrasives will even-
tually damage the porcelain enamel surface.
CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES
Clean these surfaces with the provided Stainless
Steel Cleaner. Rinse and dry with a soft lint-free cloth.
IMPORTANT
If commercial available stainless steel cleaners are
used, it is important to read the labels for chlorine
compounds. Chlorine is a corrosive substance. If
these compounds are present, rinse thoroughly and
dry with a soft lint-free cloth and use stainless steel
polish.
Always wipe stainless steel surfaces with the grain.
CLEANING PORCELAIN GRATES
Clean the porcelain grates with a solution of mild deter-
gent and hot water. Rinse with a soft cloth. Do not use
abrasives or commercial oven cleaners.
Stubborn stains may be removed by washing the grates
in a dishwasher, using normal dishwasher detergent.
IMPORTANT
Never use the cooktop surface as a cutting board.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or applicators on the
cooktop.
Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp ob-
ject such as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects
may scratch the cooktop.
A small amount of baby oil may be applied to stain-
less steel tops to restore the lustre.
CLEANING KNOBS AND KNOB BEZELS
The control knobs provided with this cooktop are de-
signed for ease of use and longevity. The “D” shaped
design of the knob shaft ensures proper orientation
when reinstalling the knob and knob bezels.
The knobs are made of a composite plastic. These com-
ponents should be washed regularly in warm, soapy
water. Hand dishwashing liquid is excellent for this task.
Knobs should be removed by gently pulling them straight
out and off of the valve shafts. Use caution to avoid
introduction of moisture into the control panel behind
the bezels. To replace knobs, align the “D-shaped” open-
ing at the bottom of the knob with the “D-shaped” valve
shaft, then carefully press the knob onto the valve.
CLEANING BURNER BASES
The burner base is permanently attached to the cooktop.
The base should be wiped clean using a soft cloth or
sponge that has been lightly dampened with warm
water and hand dishwashing liquid. Thoroughly clean
and dry the igniters to prevent constant sparking of the
reignition system. Refer to the Cleaning the Burner
Igniters section for cleaning tips.
IMPORTANT
• Turn the knobs to the “OFF” position prior to
removing them from the valve stems.
• The cooktop should never be operated without
the knobs in place.
• Do not soak the knobs in water or place them in
the dishwasher.
• Do not expose the knobs to direct flame, hot
utensils, or other sources of heat.
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaners or
applicators, as these could cause permanent
damage.
