Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended Cleaning Creme
to the ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a non abrasive cloth or 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 mark-
ings 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, or they may crack it.
Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a
paper towel or a Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge to clean the
entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly,
leaving no residue. Do not use the sponge 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 the loosened soils, and then
apply cooktop cleaning creme and buff surface clean.
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you
use any scrub pad other than a Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub
Sponge.
Plastic or foods with 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.
Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:
• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal
and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it
more difficult to clean.
• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or
oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.
• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can
leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause
discoloration.
