CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE
Turn off the power, unplug the cooktop and refrigerator, make sure all surface units are off and cool
before removing anything, then remove all items including shelves and rack.
Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking soda. The solution should consist
of about 2 tablespoons of baking soda in a quart of water.
Wash the shelves and rack with a mild detergent solution.
The outside of the Compact Kitchen should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the area of the controls, or any
electrical parts.
Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a
clean soft cloth.
Do not use steel wool or a steel brush on the cooktop.
CAUTION:
Failure to unplug the appliance during cleaning could result in electrical shock or other personal injury
.
CLEANING BURNERS AND REFLECTOR BOWLS
Disconnect the cooktop from the power and turn off the Compact Kitchen to make sure that burners
are off and cool before removing burners and reflector bowls.
Remove the burners and reflector bowls as follows:
1. Lift the edge of each burner opposite the receptacle and pull it gently out of the mounting
receptacle.
2. After the burners have been removed, the reflector bowls can be lifted out of their mountings.
Clean the burners and reflector bowls with mild detergent and warm water. Wring excess water out of
the sponge or cloth when cleaning them.
Replace the burners and reflector bowls as follows:
1. Line up the opening of the reflector bowls with the burners' receptacles, hold the burners as level
as possible with the terminals just positioned into the receptacle, then push the burners’ terminals
into the receptacles.
2. When the terminals are pushed into the receptacles as far as they will go, push down the edge of
each burner opposite the receptacle.
NOTE: Do not immerse burners in water or any other liquids.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your
refrigerator if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for
a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect the contents of the refrigerator.
When a power failure occurs, make sure to turn all burners off.
