Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the
recommended CaokTop® Cleaning Creme to the ceramic
surface (on the web visit www.sears.cam for replacement
cooktop cleaner, item number 40079). Buff with a non-
abrasive cloth or no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make
cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special
cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish 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 marl< or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not
slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Da not
use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the
kitchen. Do nat cook foods directly on the cooktop surface
without a pan. Da nat drop heavy or hard objects on the
glass cooktop, because they may cause it to crack.
Cleaning Recommendations for the
Ceramic Glass Cooktop
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the
controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
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.
For light ta moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly
to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a nan-abraslve
plastic type no-scratch pad to clean the entire cooktop
surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly,
leaving no residue.
For heavy, burned an sail:
Apply a few drops of CoakTopO Cleaning Creme directly to
the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a nan-abraslve
plastic type no-scratch pad, applying pressure as needed.
Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any
other purpose.
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor
blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to
the surface. Reappiy CookTop® Cleaning Creme and buff
surface clean.
iMPORTANT NOTE: Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop
may occur if you use an abrasive type scratch pad. Only use
cleaning products that have been specifically designed for
ceramic glass cooktop.
Plastic or foods wlth a high sugar content:
These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled
or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent
damage {such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur
if not removed immediately. After turning the surface
elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula
with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface {as
illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same
method for heavy or burned on soils.
