Do Not Use the Following Cleaners
Glass cleaners which contain ammonia or chlorine
bleach. These ingredients may permanently etch or stain
the cooktop.
Caustic Cleaners
Oven cleaners such as Easy Off
®
may etch the cooktop
surface.
Abrasive Cleaners
Metal scouring pads and scrub sponges such as Scotch
Brite
®

Soap-filled scouring pads such as SOS

surface.
Powdery cleaners containing chlorine bleach can

Before Use Care
Care is easy when preventative steps are taken. For example,
apply a small amount of Cooktop Cleaning Creme (packaged
with range) on a daily basis.
This provides a protective film that makes it easy to remove
water spots or food spatters. The temperature of the cooking
surface reduces the protective qualities of this cleaner. It
must be reapplied before each use.
Use a clean cloth and apply Cooktop Cleaning Creme before
each use to remove dust or metal marks that can occur on the
counter level surface between uses.
Daily Cleaning Techniques
1. Clean the surface when it is completely cool with the
Cooktop Cleaning Crème.
Exception: Remove Dry Sugar, Sugar Syrup, Tomato
Products and Milk
immediately
with the razor blade
scraper (See Care and Cleaning Chart, next page).
2. Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp sponge or paper
towel. Rinse and dry. Use white vinegar if smudge remains;
rinse.
3. Apply a small amount of the Cooktop Cleaning
Cream. When dry, buff surface with a clean paper towel
or cloth.
Care and Cleaning - Glass Cooktop
Cleaning the Dial
Remove from cooktop. Wipe with hot, soapy cloth, rinse and
dry. The dial can also be washed in the dishwasher. Do not
soak or wash in dishwasher.
CAUTION
Do not use any kind of cleaner on the glass while the surface
is hot; use only the razor blade scraper. The resulting fumes
can be hazardous to your health. Heating the cleaner can
chemically attack and damage the surface.
Using the Razor Blade Scraper
Use the scraper to remove dried or baked on foods. Hold the
scraper at a 45° angle. Move it over the soil to lift it off of the
cooktop. Finish with a clean, damp sponge or paper towel.
Apply vinegar if smudge remains and rinse.
