Cooktop maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to
maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply
some of the cooktop cleaning cream supplied with
your new appliance. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth
or no-scratch cleaning 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 or dirty bottoms can mark or scratch the
cooktop surface.
Do not:
• Slide anything metal or glass across the
cooktop.
• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on
bottom; replace with clean cookware before
using.
• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work
surface in the kitchen.
• Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface
without a pan.
• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass
cooktop, they may cause it to crack.
Care and Cleaning
Cooktop cleaning
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls
are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme
directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a
non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad
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 non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch
cleaning pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not
use the pad 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.
