Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance (for models with a Ceramic Glass Cooktop only)
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop,
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended cooktop cleaning creme (visit www.sears.com for
replacment cleaner) to the ceramic surface. 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 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 or dirty bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not
slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Do not use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom; replace
with clean cookware before using. 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 ceramic glass cooktop, they
may cause it to crack.

Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
(for models with a Ceramic Glass Cooktop only)
For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of the cooktop cleaning creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or a 3M Scotch-Brite® Blue
Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge 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 3M Scotch-Brite®
Blue Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the sponge you use to clean the
cooktop for any other purpose.
o
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.
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop
may occur if you use any scrub pad other than a 3M
Scotch-Brite® Blue 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.
