CARE AND CLEANING
Cooktop Maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining
your ceramic glass cooktop.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first 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 finish on the glass to
help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Sliding pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on
the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed
immediately after the cooktop has cooled using 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.
• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on the bottom;
always use clean cookware.
• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in
the kitchen.
• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass
cooktop; they may cause it to crack.
Cooktop Cleaning
For light to moderate soil:
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
cleaning tool, 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 the surface clean.
Figure 30: Cooktop care
Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The
fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemi
-
cally damage the ceramic-glass surface.
WARNING
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are
turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool. The glass surface
could be hot from contact with hot cookware, and burns
may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has
cooled sufficiently.
Figure 31: Cooktop cleaning
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you
use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning
products that have been specifically designed for ceramic
glass cooktops.
