General Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions on
cleaning products.
Soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first, unless
otherwise noted.
EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES (on some
models)
Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should
be cleaned as soon as the entire range is cool. These spills may
affect the finish.
Cleaning Method:
� Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner, or nonabrasive scrubbing
pad: Gently clean around the model/serial/rating plate because
scrubbing may remove numbers.

Cleaning Method:
To avoid damaging the cooktop, do not use steel wool, abrasive
powder cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover, or ammonia.
1. Remove food/residue with the Cooktop Scraper.

cooktop is still warm but not hot to the touch. It is
recommended to wear an oven mitt while scraping the
warm cooktop.
� Hold the Cooktop Scraper at approximately a 45° angle
against the glass surface and scrape the residue. It will be
necessary to apply pressure in order to remove the
residue.
Allow the cooktop to cool down completely before proceeding
to Step 2.
