Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended
CookTop® Cleaning Creme (P/N 22-40079) 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.
[Ir_[=_'_ITjT_'_ Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
_'|v£h_1:t#ll_[_ll 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.
Cleaning Recommendations
for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
For light to moderate
soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme 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 CookTop® Cleaning Creme 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.
[Ir_["_'_I'_jT_'_ Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use
any scrub pad other than a 3M Scotch-Brite®
Blue Multi-Purpose
No
Scratch Scrub Sponge.
Plastic
or foods
with
a
high
sugar
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.
