MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Glass-Ceramic
Cooktop
CAUTION
• Do not use scrub pads or abrasive cleaning
pads. They may damage your cooktop surface.
• For your safety, wear an oven mitt or pot
holder while using a scraper on the hot cooking
surface.
Use ceramic cooktop cleaner on the glass cooktop.
Other creams may not be as effective or may scratch,
damage or stain the cooktop surface.
To maintain and protect the surface of the glass
cooktop, follow these steps:
1
Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean
it with a ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps
protect the top and makes cleanup easier.
2
Use ceramic cooktop cleaner daily to help keep
the cooktop looking new.
3
Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few
drops of cleaner directly to the cooktop.
4
Use a paper towel to clean the entire cooktop
surface.
5
Rinse with clean water and use a dry cloth or
paper towel to remove all cleaning residue.
NOTE
Do not heat the cooktop until it has been cleaned
thoroughly.
IMPORTANT
• If sugar or food containing sugar spills, or plastic
or foil melts on the cooktop, remove the material
IMMEDIATELY with a metal razor scraper while
the cooking surface is still hot to avoid the risk of
damage to the glass-ceramic surface. When used
correctly, the scraper will not damage the cooktop
surface. For your safety, please use an oven mitt or
pot holder while scraping the hot cooking surface.
• If water or food containing water spills on the
cooktop, remove the spill IMMEDIATELY with a dry
paper towel.
NOTE
• Sugary spillovers (such as preserves, ketchup,
tomato sauce, jellies, fudge, candy, syrups, or
chocolate) or melted plastics can cause pitting
on the surface of your cooktop. (This damage is
not covered by the warranty.)
• If food or water containing calcium (such as
baking powder, wine, milk, spinach, or broccoli)
is spilled on the cooktop, it can permanently
stain or discolor the surface. This damage is
not covered by the warranty.

Burned-On Residue

1
While the cooktop is still warm but not hot to the
touch, remove any burned-on deposits or spilled
food from the glass-ceramic cooking surface with
a suitable metal razor scraper. To prevent burns,
use an oven mitt or pot holder while using the
metal scraper.
NOTE
• Do not use a dull or nicked blade.
• Hold the scraper at approximately a 30° angle
to the cooktop.
• The razor scraper will not damage the markings
on the cooking surface.
2
When the cooking surface has completely
cooled, apply a few dime-sized dabs of a
ceramic glass cooktop cleaner in each burner
area. Work the cleaning cream over the cooktop
surface with a damp paper towel. Leave the
cleaner on for 10 minutes before rinsing it off.
3
Rinse with clean water and wipe the cooktop
surface with a clean, dry paper towel.
