Cleaning
& Maintenance
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the supplied CookTop@ Cleaning Creme to the ceramic surface (on the web
visit www.sears.com
for replacement cooktop cleaner, item number 40079). Buff with a non-abrasive
cloth or no-scratch
cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protec-
tive finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Sliding pan bottoms 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 bottoms can
mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything
metal or
glass across the cooktop. Do not use your 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 glass
cooktop, because they may cause it to crack.

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can
chemically damage the ceramic-glass
surface.
For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive
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 CookTop® Cleaning Creme 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. Reapply CookTop® Cleaning Creme
/
and buff surface clean.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an
abrasive type scratch pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically
designed for ceramic glass cooktop.
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:
These types of soils need to 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
heaw or burned on soils.
