4. Lift out the reflector bowl. See “Cleaning chart” on page 26 for cleaning instructions. Replacing 1. Make sure all control knobs are turned off and cool before replacing surface units and reflector bowls. 2. Line up openings in the reflector bowl with the surface unit receptacle.
NOTE: Reflector bowls reflect heat back to the utensils on the surface units. They also help catch spills. When they are kept clean, they reflect heat better and look new longer. If a reflector bowl gets discolored, some of your utensils may not be flat enough, or some may be too large for the surface unit.
3. IMPORTANT: Dry the element com- pletely after cleaning. Turn on the element for a few minutes to dry thor- oughly. After the element has cooled, use a paper towel to apply a thin coat of salt-free oil to the surface units to season and restore the finish.
Cleaning the ceramic cooktop The ceramic cooktop module is designed for easy care. However, ceramic cooktops need to be maintained differently than standard electric open-coil elements. Foods spilled directly on the cooktop will not burn off as on open-coil elements.

Cleaning the grill Food cooked on the grill may spatter. You should clean all parts of the module except the heating element after each use. A soiled heating element cleans itself by burning off spills and spatters. To remove grill: 1. Lift off grill sections.
To clean grill: 7. Wash grill sections with warm, soapy water and a nonabrasive plastic scrub- bing pad, or use a dishwasher. Do not use metal scrubbing pads or abrasive cleansers.
