Your cooktop is designed for easy care. You
can do most cleaning with items found around
your home. Cleaning your cooktop whenever
spills or soiling occurs helps to keep it looking
and operating like new.
NOTE: Let cooktop cool before cleaning.
Control knobs
1. Make sure all control knobs are turned to OFF.
2. Pull the control knobs straight off.
3. Wash control knobs with sponge and warm,
soapy water. Rinse well and dry with a soft
cloth. Do not soak.
4. Replace control knobs by pushing them
firmly into place.
NOTES:
• When cleaning, never use steel wool, abra-
sives, or commercial oven cleaners which
may damage the finish. After cleaning, make
sure all control knobs point to OFF.

• To prevent moisture from collecting in
control area, do not remove seals under
control knobs. Wipe up spills in control
area as soon as they occur.
Ceramic cooktop and control panel
This cooktop is designed for easy care.
However, ceramic glass cooktops need to be
maintained differently than standard electric
coil elements. Foods spilled directly on the
cooktop will not burn off as on coil elements.
Because of this, the surface should be dust-
free and soil-free before heating.
The Cooktop Polishing Creme included with
your cooktop, paper towels or a sponge is all
you need to clean your cooktop. For proper
cleaning methods, please review the “How to
keep your cooktop looking like new” chart.
Follow this chart after each use to ensure top
performance and to preserve that uniquely
elegant look. NOTE: Let cooktop cool before cleaning.
