CARING FOR YOUR RANGE
Your range is designed for ease of cleaning.
Most cleaning can be done with soap and
water or other mild household cleaners.
Cleaning your range whenever spills or soiling
occurs will keep it looking and operating like new.
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners on
the exterior, including door frame.
The glass ceramic cooktop is designed for
easy care. However, glass ceramic cooktops
need to be maintained differently than stan-
dard electric open-coil elements. Foods spilled
directly on the cooktop will not burn off as on
open-coil elements. Because of this, the
surface should be dust-free and soil-free
before heating.
Cooktop Polishing Creme, paper towels or
a clean cloth, and a razor blade scraper is
all you need to clean your cooktop.
Your cooktop has been prepolished at the
factory for improved protection and cleanability.
For proper cleaning methods, please review
“Cleaning tips” page 34. Follow them after
each use to ensure top performance and to
preserve the uniquely elegant look.
