COOKTOP CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop
!
CAUTION
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
!
WARNING
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.
Prior to using your cooktop for the fi rst time, apply the recommended
Cleaning Creme to the ceramic surface. A sample of that cleaning creme
is supplied with your cooktop and it is available in most hardware stores.
Clean and buff with a paper towel. This will make cleaning easier when
soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protec-
tive fi nish 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 bottoms can mark or scratch the
cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. 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 glass cooktop, they
may cause it to crack or break.
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 to clean
the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop
is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not
use the towel you use to clean the cooktop for any
other purpose.
For heavy, burned on soil:
First, clean the surface as described above. Then, 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.
