Glass Ceramic Cooktop Cleaning
Cleaning of glass ceramic cooktops is different from
cleaning a standard porcelain finish. To maintain and
protect the surface of your new glass ceramic cooktop
follow these basic steps.
DAILY CLEANING: Use only Cook Top Cleaning
Creme on Glass Ceramic.
For normal, light soil:
1. Rub a few drops (less is better) of Cook Top
Cleaning Creme onto soiled area using a damp
paper towel. Buff with a dry paper towel until all
soil and creme are removed. Frequent cleaning
leaves a protective coating which is essential in
preventing scratches and abrasions.
2. Clean surface with Cook Top Cleaning Creme
after each use.
For heavy, burned on soil:
1. Apply a few drops of Cook Top Cleaning Creme
to the (cool) soiled area.
2. Using a damp paper towel. rub creme into the
burned on area. As with any burned on spill, this
may require some good old fashioned elbow grease.
3. Carefully scrape soil with razor scraper. Hold
scraper at a 30° angle against the ceramic surface.
4.
If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above.
For additional protection, after all soil has been
removed, polish the entire surface with the Cook
Top Cleaning Creme.
5. Buff with a dry paper towel.
NOTE:
. Using a razor scraper will not damage the surface
if the 30° angle is maintained,
Be sure to use a new, sharp razor scraper.
Do not use a dull or nicked blade.
Store the razor scraper out of reach of children.
PRECAUTIONS
. Most cleaners contain ammonia, chemicals and
abrasives which can damage the surface of your
cooktop. Use only the Cook Top Cleaning Creme
for proper cleaning and protection of your glass
ceramic surface.
If you slide aluminum or copper cookware across
the surface of your cooktop, they may leave metal
markings which appear as scratches. If this should
happen, use the razor scraper and Cleaning Creme to
remove these markings. Failure to remove these
residues immediately may leave permanent marks.
Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable
using Cook Top Cleaning Creme or full strength
white vinegar.
SPECIAL CARE: Sugary spillovers (such as jellies,
fudge, candy syrups) or melted plastics can cause
pitting of the surface of your cooktop (not covered by
the warranty) unless the spill is removed while still
hot. Special care should be taken when removing
hot substances. Follow these instructions carefully
and remove soil while spill is still hot.
1. Turn off all surface units affected by the spillover.
Remove hot pans.
2. Wearing an oven mitt, hold the
razor scraper at a 30° angle to the
cooktop and scrape hot spill to a
cool area outside the surface unit.
3. With the spill in a cool area, use a dry paper towel to
remove any excess. Any spillover re-maining should
be left until the surface of the cooktop has cooled.
Do not continue to use the soiled surface unit until all
under Heavy Soil to continue the cleaning process.
COOKTOP SEAL: To clean the cooktop seal let a
wet cloth rest on it for a few minutes. then wipe clean.
Use a mild detergent if needed. Do not use a knife or
any sharp object on the seal because it will cut or
damage it.
GENERAL INFORMATION: As the Cook Top
Cleaning Creme cleans, it leaves a protective coating
on the cooktop surface. This coating helps to prevent
build-up of mineral deposits (water spots) and will
make future cleaning easier. Dishwashing detergents
remove this protective coating and therefore make the
cooktop more susceptible to staining.

If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum, copper, or
enamel are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may
bond with the glass ceramic and leave a black
discoloration. This should be removed immediately
before heating again or the discoloration may be
permanent.
. Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film
on the cooktop. Cook Top Cleaning Creme will
remove this discoloration.
Read and follow all instructions and warnings
on Cook Top Cleaning Creme labels.
