Cooktop Surface
To prevent damage to the stainless steel surface of the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming dull, clean up spills immediately. Foods with a lot of acid (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with high sugar content could cause a dull spot if allowed to set. When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse.
For other spills such as fat spatterings, etc., wash with soap and water after the surface has cooled. Then rinse and polish using a dry cloth.
To avoid burns, do not clean the cooktop surface until it has cooled.
Do not lift the cooktop surface. Lifting the cooktop surface can lead to damage and improper operation of the range.
Do not place flammable materials on or near the cooktop.
Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Do not try to lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can cause damage and improper operation of the cooktop.
If water is spilled on the cooktop, wipe it up immediately. If water is left on the cooktop for a long time, it may cause discoloration of the cooktop surface and grate.
The cooktop surface under the burner head may become discolored if the gas surface burner is used for a long time.
