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 Surfaces (on some models)
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but
breakable if misused This finish is acid-
resistant However, any acidic foods or food
with high sugar content 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
NOTE: For stainless steel cooktops refer to the
