Cleaning and Maintenance
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when
maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no
exception. Your range must be kept clean and maintained properly.
Make sure all controls are in the “OFF” position. Disconnect power if
you are going to clean thoroughly with water.
Glass Ceramic Top
Cleaning of glass ceramic tops is different from cleaning a standard
porcelain finish. To maintain and protect the surface of your new glass
ceramic top, follow these basic steps:
For normal light soil:
Rub a few drops of a glass ceramic creame to the cool soiled area
using a damp paper towel. Wipe until all soil and creame are
removed. Frequent cleaning leaves a protective coating which is
essential in preventing scratches and abrasions.
For heavy, burned soil:
1. Apply a few drops of glass ceramic cleaning creame to the cool
soiled area.
2. Using a damp paper towel, rub creame into burned on area.
3. Carefully scrape remaining soil with a razor scraper. Hold the
scraper at a 300 angle against the ceramic surface.
4. If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above. For additional
protection, after all soil has been removed, polish the entire surface
with the cleaning creame.
5. Buff with a dry paper towel. As the cleaning creame cleans, it leaves
a protective coating on the glass surface. This coating helps to
prevent build-up of mineral deposits (water spots) and will make
future cleaning easier. Dishwashing detergents remove this
protective coating and therefore make the glass ceramic top more
susceptible to staining.
