Cooktop Cleaning
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-abrasive plastic
type no-scratch cleaning 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-abrasive
plastic type no-scratch cleaning 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. Remove loosened soils, then apply a few drops of
cleaning cream and bu 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 specically designed for
ceramic glass cooktop.
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.
Cooktop Maintenance
Prior to using your cooktop for the rst time, apply the
recommended CookTop® Cleaning Creme to the ceramic
surface. Bu 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 nish 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 mark or scratch the cooktop surface.
Do not:
Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom; replace •
with clean cookware before using.
Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. •
Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the •
kitchen.
Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. •
Drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop, because •
they may cause it to crack.
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining
your ceramic glass cooktop
