Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is essentlol to malntolnlng
your Ceramic glass cooktop
Prior to using your cool<top for the first time, apply the
recommended Cool<Top® Cleaning Creme to the ceramic
surface (on the web visit www.seors.com for replacement
cooktop cleane b item number 40079). Buff with a non-
obroslve 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 immedlotely after the
cool<top has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream.
Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to
future use.

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 to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly
to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-obroslve
plastic type no-scratch pad to clean the entire cooktop
surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly,
leaving no residue.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to
the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-obraslve
plastic type no-scratch pad, applying pressure as needed.
Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any
other purpose.
