General Cleaning
FEATURE OVERVIEW
• Cleaning Recommendations
for Ceramic Glass Cooktops
(cont'd)
y
Do not use
cleaners on a heated
surface. Fumes could be
hazardous. Wait for
area to cool before
cleaning. Do not use
cleaner cream to clean
porcelain, paint or
aluminum because it can
damage the surface.
Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:
• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and
some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more
difficult to clean.
• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven
cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.
• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave soil
or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.
Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils
1) Aluminum foil
Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any circumstances.
2) Aluminum utensils
Take care when using aluminum pots or pans, because the melting point of aluminum is
much lower then other metals. If it boils dry, not only will an aluminum utensil be ruined,
but it may break, fuse or mark the ceramic glass surface.
Care and Cleaning of Stainless Steel (Stainless Steel models only)
Some models are equipped with stainless steel exterior parts. Special care and cleaning are
required for maintaining the appearance of stainless parts. Please refer to the table provided
at the beginning of the General Care & Cleaning section in this Use & Care Manual.
