Porcelain Enamel Cooktop
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but
breakable if misused. This finish is acid-resistant.
However, any acidic foods spilled (such as fruit
juices, tomato or vinegar) should not be permitted
to remain on the finish.
Lift-Up Cooktop
(on some models)
Some models have a cooktop that can be lifted up
for easier cleaning. To make cleaning easier, the
entire cooktop may be lifted up and supported in the
up position.
Be sure all surface units are turned off before
raising the cooktop. The surface units do not need to
be removed before lifting, however, you may remove
one to make raising the cooktop easier. There are two
side supports that lock into position when the cooktop
is lifted up. After cleaning under the cooktop with
hot, mild soapy water and a clean cloth, lower the
cooktop. Be careful not to pinch your fingers.
To lower the cooktop, push the rods back and gently
lower the cooktop until it rests in place.
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 soap and
water. Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat smatterings, wash with
soap and water or cleansing powders after the surface
has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
