daily cleaning

For normal soil:
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Wipe off spills and spatters using a clean paper towel
or a clean cloth with warm, soapy water.
3. If needed, use a soapy steel wool pad or other mild
household cleaners.
4. Be sure to rinse off the cleaners or the porcelain may
become damaged during future heating.
For heavy, burned-on soil:
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Use a soap filled scouring pad with warm water or cover
heavily soiled spots with a solution of clear water and
ammonia. Scour gently. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
3. If any soil remains, apply a few drops of a
recommended cooktop cleaning cream on the spots
and rub gently using a clean damp cloth or scouring
pad. Buff with a dry cloth until all soil and cream are
removed. Frequent cleaning with the cooktop cleaning
cream leaves a protective coating which helps in
preventing scratches and abrasions.
For sugary spillovers:
Sugary spills can chemically damage your cooktop
surface. Therefore, you must begin cleaning the spills
while the cooktop is still hot. Use caution when following
the steps below.
1. Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.
2. Wearing an oven mitt, wipe up carefully or move hot spills
away from the element area with a clean damp cloth.
3. Allow the cooktop to cool. Follow the instructions
above for heavy, burned-on soil.

cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become
permanent if not removed prior to future use.
