Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place a
pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit off before removing the pan.
• Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element will also improve efficiency.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Elements—To reduce the risk of burns, ignition
of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
• Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat Settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements—
Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/ ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cook top use.
• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer/Bake-
n-Warm™ Double Oven (if equipped)—Stand to the side of the
range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent is located under the left rear surface element if your model is equipped with coil elements. The oven vent is located below the backguard for models equipped with ceramic-glass cook tops. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven
bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
SELF CLEANING OVENS
• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this Use & Care Manual. Before self cleaning the oven, remove the broiler
pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.
• Do Not Use Oven Cleaners—No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.
• Do Not Clean Door Gasket—The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
•The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each
surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.
• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.
• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently—Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOK TOP MODELS
• Do Not Cook on Broken Cook Top—If cook top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook top
and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Clean Cook Top with Caution—If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

models)
Speed Bake™ Cooking System uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two racks at the same time (See Fig. 1).
Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked with Speed Bake™ Cooking System are juicer. Poultry is crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside. Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven can be cooked faster and more evenly with Speed Bake™ Cooking System.
General Cooking Instructions:
For Baking:
1. For optimum cooking results it is recommended to preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and breads.
2. Reduce oven temperature 25° F from recipe’s recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum recommended cook time.
3. When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in positions 2 & 5 for best results (See Fig. 1)
Note: Layer cakes will have better results using the normal Bake feature.
For Roasting:
1. Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods with Speed Bake™ Cooking System.
2. Since Speed Bake cooks food faster, reduce the cook time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe. Increase the time until the desired doneness is obtained.
Note: Cook time reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.
To Set Speed Bake™ Cooking System:
1. Program the oven as you normally would to bake. Speed Bake may be used with Bake, Timed Bake and Delayed Time Bake features.
2. Press and release Speed Bake switch. The indicator light located above the Speed Bake switch will glow and the fan will come on. The fan stays on when the oven door is closed and shuts off while the oven door is opened. The fan will continue to operate until cooking is complete.
3. To cancel Speed Bake, press on the oven control as you would to stop any baking function.
NOTE: The Speed Bake feature will not work during a Self-Cleaning cycle.

Dual Features of the Bake-n-Warm™ Double Oven
The Bake-n-Warm™ Double Oven is designed to provide two unique food preparation features. The features provide a Mini Oven and a Warmer Drawer using the same lower oven cavity, drawer and control.
The Mini Oven feature is ideal for cooking foods such as pizza, casseroles, baked potatoes and frozen convenience foods. The purpose of the Warmer Drawer feature is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food in the Warmer Drawer.
BE SURE TO READ THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS before using the Bake-n-Warm™ Double Oven:
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE LOWER OVEN WHEN HOT. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN
BURNS.
Using the Mini Oven or Warmer Drawer Features
When placing food in the Mini Oven always use a baking sheet or pan with 4 raised sides to prevent food from sliding off.
To minimize sliding of bake ware, open and close the drawer gently making
sure the drawer latches when closed.
During cooking/warming, limit the number of times the drawer is opened. This will minimize heat loss. Repeated opening of the drawer during the cooking process may increase cooking times and produce uneven cooking results. The cooking time for the Mini Oven feature may vary slightly from the upper oven times.
For best results with the Mini Oven, pastries, casseroles with crumb toppings and bakery type items should be cooked in the large upper oven.
The maximum height of foods and utensils that may be used in the Bake-n­Warm™ Oven is 4”. The maximum width is 15”. Pay close attention to foods
that have potential to rise beyond the recommended 4” maximum height.
Use pans in the drawer large enough to hold food and any juices that may
result from the cooking process.
The Drawer Rack must always be in place when cooking or warming foods in the drawer. Be sure that the rack is placed with the down turned sides into the drawer. This will provide for some air space between the drawer and the food (See Fig. 1). Do not put food or utensils directly on the oven drawer bottom.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer or surrounding areas and be very difficult to clean. Use a lid or aluminum
foil instead. Use only utensils and cookware in the oven drawer that are recommended for oven use in the upper oven.
DO NOT LINE THE OVEN DRAWER WITH FOIL OR COVER THE OVEN RACK WITH FOIL. This may result in damage to your oven.
NOTES: The Bake-n-Warm™ Double Oven will not operate when the upper oven is set for Self-Cleaning or the Oven Control Lockout feature is active. If the Bake­n-Warm™ Double Oven is ON and a Self-Clean or Oven Control Lockout request is attempted, the oven control will deny the request with a triple beep.
16
Page 17
T o Set the Mini Oven Feature of the Bake-n-Warm™ Double Oven:
1. Push in and turn the Bake-n-Warm™ control knob clockwise to the desired temperature setting (See Fig. 1). A beep will sound indicating the oven is ON.
2. For best results always preheat the oven drawer before adding food. An empty oven drawer will preheat in approximately 15 minutes.
3. The indicator light above the control knob will remain ON constantly through the preheat and cooking process.
4. When the preheat beep sounds, open the Bake-n-Warm™ drawer completely. Place the food on the drawer rack using oven mitts (See Fig. 2 on previous page).
5. Gently close the drawer. Be sure the magnetic system latches.
6. When done cooking, turn the control knob to the OFF position. Remove prepared food from the drawer.

Note: The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by HI (high), MED (medium) and LO (low). Use the recommended Warmer Drawer food settings for the type of food placed in the oven drawer (See Fig. 3)
2. For best results, preheat the oven drawer before adding food. An empty oven drawer will preheat in approximately 15 minutes.
3. The indicator light above the control knob will remain ON constantly through the preheat and warming process.
4. Place the food on the oven drawer rack using oven mitts (See Fig. 2 on previous page).
5. Gently close the drawer. Be sure the magnetic system latches.
6. When the food is ready to serve, turn the control knob to the OFF position. Remove prepared food from the oven drawer.
Warmer Drawer Temperature Selection
Recommended Warmer Drawer food settings are show in Fig. 3. If a particular food is not listed, start with the MED (medium) setting. If more crispness is desired, remove the lid or aluminum foil from the food. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures on the MED setting. When a combination of foods are to be kept warm (for example a meat with 2 vegetables and rolls) use the HI (high) setting.
Recommended Cleaning Tips for the Bake-n-Warm™ Double Oven Drawer
For easier clean-up, the Bake-n-Warm™ Double Oven should be cleaned as soon as the oven cools down. Clean after each use to minimize build-up of spatter and food leftovers. When cooking foods that spatter , cover the food with heat-proof lid or foil. Use a mild detergent and water to clean the oven drawer and sides. For stubborn soils use a nonabrasive cleaning pad to remove soils. DO NOT use oven cleaners on Bake-n-Warm™ oven cavity .

Self-Cleaning
During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the door after the Self-Cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.
Self-Cleaning Oven
A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part
of the Self-Cleaning oven.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket.
DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage.
Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
Remove oven racks. If they are not removed during the Self-Clean cycle their
color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the oven racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position).
Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the Self­Cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.
The oven bake and broil elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned OFF. The elements may still be hot and burns may occur if these elements are touched before they have cooled sufficiently.
The bake element is designed to be tilted up using your hand from the front of the bake element. This will allow easier access to the oven bottom for cleaning. Be careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position.
NOTES: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the oven bottom should be removed. See additional cleaning information for the oven door in the General Care & Cleaning section.

the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution and avoid
possible burns when opening the door after the Self-Cleaning cycle has completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

How to Clean
For general cleaning, use a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent & water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar & water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry & polish with a soft cloth. Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth 1st. DO NOT spray liquids directly on the control pad and display areas. DO NOT use large amounts of water on the control panel - excess water on the control area may cause damage to the appliance. DO NOT use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or some paper towels - they will damage the finish.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF & remove the control knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Use the general cleaning instructions provided in the paragraph above.
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clean water & ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse & wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the range top.
Oven Racks
Oven Door
Stainless Steel (some models)
Ceramic Cooktop
Remove oven racks. See "Removing & Replacing Oven Racks" under Before Setting Oven Controls. Use a mild, abrasive cleaner, following the cleaner’s recommendations. Rinse with
clean water & let dry. After cleaning the racks, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the oven rack positions).
Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides & front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. DO NOT immerse the door in water. DO NOT spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents. DO NOT use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door. DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material, on Self-Cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove this gasket.
Clean stainless steel with hot soapy water & a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a cloth. DO NOT use cleaners with high conecentrations of chlorides or chlorines. DO NOT use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners form the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.

Care & Cleaning
Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended cooktop cleaning creme to the ceramic surface (visit www.frigidaire.com for replacment cleaner). Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough or dirty bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal
or glass across the cooktop. Do not use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom; replace with clean cookware before using. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not
drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass cooktop, they may cause it to crack.
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can
chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface.
Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning cream and buff surface clean.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically designed for ceramic glass cooktops.
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:
These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

Care & Cleaning
The oven light automatically turns ON when the door is opened. The oven light may also be manually operated by pressing the pad.
The oven light bulb is located at the rear of the oven and is covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use.
To replace the oven light bulb:
1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the range.
2. Press wire holder to one side to release the glass shield.
3. Replace bulb with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.
4. Replace glass shield over bulb and snap wire holder into place.
5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the range back in).
6. The clock will then need to be reset. To reset, see Setting the Clock and Minute Timer in this Use & Care Manual.
Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing
oven light. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.
Care and Cleaning of Stainless Steel (some models)
Some models are equipped with stainless steel exterior parts. Special care and cleaning are required for maintaining the appearance of stainless parts. Refer to the Care & Cleaning Table for detailed cleaning instructions.

Solutions to Common Problems
Before you call for service, review the following list. It may save you time & expense. The list includes common occurrences (shown in bold) that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance. The possible corrections to these problems are provided with the problem listed:
Range is not level - (1) Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of range until the oven rack is level. (2) Be sure floor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support range. (3) If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation. (4) Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not level. Be sure cabinets are square & have sufficient room for range clearance.
Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance must be accessible for service - (1) Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly.
Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible. (2) Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet.
Surface element too hot or not hot enough - Incorrect control setting. Be sure the correct control is ON for the element to be used.
Surface element does not heat - (1) Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or heavyweight cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware materials and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy & medium-weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily. (2) No power to the appliance. Check steps under "Entire Appliance Does Not Operate" in this checklist. (3) Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is ON for the surface element to be used.
Entire appliance does not operate - (1) The time of day is not set. The time of day must first be set in order to operate the oven. See “To Set the Clock” in the Setting Oven Controls section.(2) Make sure cord/plug is plugged correctly into outlet. (3) Service wiring is not complete. Contact your authorized service agent. (4) Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for service.
Oven does not operate - Be sure the oven controls are set properly for the desired function. See Setting Oven Controls in this Use & Care Manual or read the instructions “Entire
appliance does not operate” in this checklist. Oven light does not work (some models) - Replace or tighten
bulb. See Changing Oven Light section in this Use & Care Manual. Oven control beeps & displays any F code error (for example
F11) - Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press CLEAR/OFF to clear the display & stop beeping. Reprogram
oven. If fault recurs, record fault number. Press CLEAR/OFF & contact an authorized service agent.
Flames inside oven or smoking from oven vent - Excessive spillovers in oven. For example this will happen for pie spillovers or large amounts of grease left on the oven bottom. Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting oven. If flames or excessive smoke are present see “Broiling” in the Setting
Oven Controls section.
Oven smokes excessively during broiling - (1) Control(s) not set properly. Follow Broil instructions under Setting Oven Controls. (2) Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop position. (3) Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition the
broil rack to provide proper clearance between the meat & the element. Preheat the broil element for searing. (4) Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean. (5) Insert on broiler pan wrong side up & grease not draining. Always place grid on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to allow grease to drip into pan (some models). (6) Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
Poor baking results - Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper oven rack position is used. Center food in the oven & space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or baking time. If you feel the oven is too hot or cool, see Adjusting Your
Oven Temperature in this Use & Care Manual. Soil not completely removed after Self-Cleaning cycle -
Failure to clean bottom, front top of oven, frame of oven or door area outside oven seal. These areas are not in the Self­Cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these areas before the Self-Cleaning cycle is started. Burned­on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.
Self-Cleaning cycle does not work - (1) Oven control not set properly. Follow instructions under Self-Cleaning. (2) Self- Cleaning cycle was interrupted. Follow steps under "Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle" under Self-Cleaning.
Metal marks (Ceramic Cooktop models) - Sliding or scraping of metal utensils on cooktop surface. Do not slide metal utensils on cooktop surface. Use a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning creme to remove the marks. See "Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance" in the Care & Cleaning section.
Scratches or abrasions on cooktop surface (Ceramic Cooktop models) - (1) Coarse particles such as salt or sand
between cooktop and utensils can cause scratches. Be sure cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils are clean before usage. Small scratches do not affect cooking and will become less visible with time. (2) Cleaning materials not recommended for ceramic-glass cooktop have been used. See "Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance." (3) Cookware with rough bottom has been used. Use smooth, flat-bottomed cookware.
Brown streaks or specks on cooktop surface (Ceramic Cooktop models) - Boilovers are cooked onto surface. Use
razor blade scraper to remove soil. See "Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance" in the Care & Cleaning section.
Areas of discoloration with metallic sheen (Ceramic Cooktop models) - Mineral deposits from water and food. Remove using
a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning creme. Use cookware with clean, dry bottoms.
