Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to
maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.
To maintain the cooktop appearance:
• 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 ceramic 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.
For light to moderate soil - Apply a few drops of cooktop
cleaning cream directly to the cooktop. Use a clean paper
towel to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the
cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not
use the towel you use to clean the cooktop for any other
purpose.
For heavy, burned on soil - Apply a few drops of cooktop
cleaning cream 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 with cooktop cleaning
cream and buff surface clean.
Prior to using your cooktop for the rst time, apply
a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in most
hardware, grocery and department stores) to the ceramic
surface. Clean and buff with a clean paper towel. This will
make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. Cooktop
cleaning creams leave 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 or dirty bottoms can mark or scratch
the cooktop surface.
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are
turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
Cooktop maintenance
Cooktop cleaning
Removing 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.
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you
use an abrasive cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products
that have been specically designed for cooktops.
