NOTICE: Do not remove the control knobs
when cleaning the appliance. The appli-
ance may be damaged if moisture finds its
way inside.

age the finish or remove graphics.

Do not remove grommets or white
rings as they will require Customer

not be used without all parts fitted
correctly.
The grates are heavy; use care when lift-
▯
. ing. Place on a protected surface for
®
cleaning.
and Blisters/ crazing/ chips are common
®
▯
due to the extreme temperatures on
grate fingers and rapid temperature
changes.
Acidic and sugar-laden spills deteriorate
▯
the enamel. Remove soil immediately
after unit has cooled enough to touch.
Abrasive cleaners, used too vigorously
▯
or too often can eventually mar the
enamel.
Do not clean in a self-cleaning oven.
▯
Avoid excess water on the igniter. A
▯
damp igniter will prevent burner from
lighting.
Remove any lint that may remain after
▯
cleaning.
Always clean off any liquid as soon as it
▯
is spilt. This will prevent food remains
from sticking to the cooktop surface and
you will save yourself any unnecessary
effort.
Melted sugar, or foods which contain a
▯
lot of sugar which may have spilt,
should be cleaned off the cooking zone
immediately, using the glass scraper.
Avoid abrasive cleaners such as metal
▯
scouring pads, scrub sponges, soap-
filled scouring pads and powder clean-
ers.
The appliance requires only regular cleaning for proper
operation. No other maintenance is required.
