Cooktop maintenance

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to
maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply
some of the cooktop cleaner supplied with your
new appliance. Buff with a nonabrasive cloth or
no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning
easier when soiled from cooking. The special
cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish
on the glass to help prevent scratches and
abrasions.
Cookware with rough or dirty bottoms can mark or
scratch the cooktop surface. Even when clean,
sliding cookware on the cooktop can cause metal
markings to appear on the cooktop glass. These
marks should be removed immediately after the
cooktop has cooled using the supplied cooktop
cleaning cream. Metal marks may eventually
become permanent if not removed prior to using
the cooktop again.
DO NOT:
• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on
bottom; replace with clean cookware before
using.
• 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.
• Slide anything metal or glass across the
cooktop.

Cooktop cleaning

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls
are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of the ceramic glass cooktop
cleaner directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel
or use a nonabrasive 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 the ceramic glass cooktop
cleaner directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled
area using a nonabrasive 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 as shown. Remove loosened
soils with cooktop cleaning cream and buff surface
clean.
