KitchenAid KCED606GBL Cooktop F.A.Q.

How do I properly clean the KitchenAid KCED606GBL Cooktop?

To clean the cooktop, ensure it is cool to the touch. Use a damp cloth with mild detergent for everyday cleaning. For tougher stains, use a cooktop cleaner recommended by KitchenAid. Avoid abrasive cleaners and steel wool as they can scratch the surface.

What should I do if the cooktop burners are not igniting?

Check if the cooktop is plugged in and receiving power. Ensure that the burner caps are correctly placed and clean. If the issue persists, inspect the igniter for dirt or damage and clean it if necessary. If problems continue, consult a technician.

How can I prevent scratches on the glass surface of the cooktop?

Avoid sliding pots and pans across the cooktop. Use cookware with smooth bottoms and clean spills immediately. Consider using a cooktop protector mat when not in use.

Why does the cooktop make a clicking noise when turned on?

The clicking noise is normal as it indicates the igniter is working to light the burner. If the clicking continues after ignition or if the burner does not light, check for debris around the igniter and clean if necessary.

What type of cookware is best for use with the KCED606GBL Cooktop?

Use flat-bottomed, smooth-surfaced cookware for optimal performance. Stainless steel and heavy gauge aluminum are ideal. Avoid warped or uneven pans as they can cause poor heat distribution.

How do I reset the cooktop after a power outage?

After a power outage, the cooktop should reset automatically. If issues arise, turn off the cooktop and unplug it for a few minutes before reconnecting and turning it back on.

Can I use cast iron cookware on the KitchenAid KCED606GBL Cooktop?

Yes, you can use cast iron cookware, but ensure it is smooth and flat. Avoid dragging it across the surface to prevent scratches. Preheat slowly to avoid thermal shock.

What should I do if the cooktop surface is cracked?

Discontinue use immediately if the surface is cracked. Contact KitchenAid customer service or a certified technician for assessment and repair. Avoid using the cooktop until it is fixed to prevent safety hazards.

How do I know if my cooktop is properly grounded?

Ensure the cooktop is installed by a qualified electrician who will check grounding according to local codes. Proper grounding is crucial for safety and appliance performance.

How can I improve energy efficiency when using the cooktop?

Use cookware that matches the size of the burners to avoid energy loss. Always cover pots with lids when boiling, and use only as much water as needed. Preheat pans only when necessary.
