Cooktop
Cleaning
and Maintenance
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended "Cerama Brite Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner" to the
ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or 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.
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans 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, they may cause it to crack.
Cleaning
Recommendations
for the Ceramic
Glass Cooktop
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 "Cerama Brite Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner" directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or a 3M Scotch-
Brite® Blue Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge 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 "Cerama Brite Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner" directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a 3M
Scotch-Brite®
Blue Multi-Purpose
No Scratch Scrub Sponge, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the sponge 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 surface clean.

content:
These types of soils need 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 heavy or burned on soils.
