General
information
for glass
surface units
Before you use the cooktop for the first time,
clean the glass surface units with cleaning
cream. This helps protect them top and makes
clean-up easier.
Proper care and cleaning are important so
your cooktop will give you efficient and
satisfactory service.
If soil, mineral deposits from evaporated water
spills or metal rub-off from aluminum
cookware is not removed, it will burn on the
glass surface units and cause permanent
discoloration.
Follow the directions in this section carefully in
caring for the glass surface units to assure safe
and proper maintenance.
Daily
cleaning of
the glass
surface
units
Use only a recommended cleaning cream,
such as Cerama Brite or Cooktop Cleaning
Cream, on the glass surface units.
Normal,
light soil on
the glass
surface
units
1 Rub a few drops (less is better) of the cleaning
cream onto soiled area using a damp paper
towel. Buff with a dry paper towel until all soil
and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning
leaves a protective coating which is essential
in preventing scratches and abrasions.
2 Clean the surface units with the cleaning
cream after each use.
Heavy,
burned-on
soil on the
glass
surface
units
1 Apply a few drops of the cleaning cream to
the (cool) soiled area.
2 Using a damp paper towel, rub the cream
into the burned-on area. As with any
burned-on spill, this may require some effort.
3 Carefully scrape soil with razor scraper.
Hold scraper at a 30° angle against the
glass surface units.
4 If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed
above. For additional protection, after all
soil has been removed, polish the entire
surface unit with the cleaning cream.
5 Buff with a dry paper towel.
NOTE:
• Be sure to use a new, sharp razor scraper. Do
not use a dull or nicked blade.
• Store the razor scraper out of reach of children.
