PART PROCEDURE
Cooktop – Never use oven cleaners, chlorine bleach, ammonia or glass cleaners with ammonia.
Glass-Ceramic Important: Call an authorized servicer if the glass-ceramic top should crack, break or if metal or

• Allow the cooktop to cool before cleaning.
• General – Clean cooktop after each use, or when needed, with a damp paper towel and Cooktop Cleaning
Creme* (Part No. 20000001)**. Then, buff with a clean, dry cloth.
Important: Permanent stains will develop if soil is allowed to cook on by repeatedly using the cooktop
when soiled.
• Heavy Soils or Metal Marks – Dampen a "scratchless" or "never scratch" scrubber sponge. Apply
Cooktop Cleaning Creme* (Part No. 20000001)** and scrub to remove as much soil as possible. Apply a
thin layer of the creme over the soil, cover with a damp paper towel and let stand 30 to 45 minutes (2-3
hours for very heavy soil). Keep moist by covering the paper towel with plastic wrap. Scrub again, then
buff with a clean, dry cloth.
Important: Only use a CLEAN, DAMP "scratchless" pad that is safe for non-stick cookware. The pattern
and glass will be damaged if the pad is not damp, if the pad is soiled, or if another type of pad is used.

plastic from hot surface to a cool area. Then turn element Off and allow to cool. Clean
residue with razor blade scraper and Cooktop Cleaning Creme*.
