Suggested Technique(s)
•
Apply a small amount of the glass
ceramic cooktop cleaner. When
dry, buff surface with a clean
paper towel or cloth.
•
Wipe off spatters with a clean,
damp sponge or paper towel.
Rinse and dry. Use white vinegar
if smudge remains; rinse.
•
For suggestions on how to clean
hard to remove soil, see See
"Cleaning Techniques for Stub-
born Soil (Glass Ceramic Cooktop
Models)" on page 36.
•
Carefully wipe with a cotton swab
dampened with water, ammonia
or a non-abrasive cleaner such as
®
Formula 409
.
•
Gently scrape soil off with a tooth-
pick.
•
Remove pan and turn off the burner.
•
Wearing an oven mitt, hold scraper at 30
gouge or scratch the glass. Push soil off the heated area.
•
After the surface has cooled, remove the residue and apply the
glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.
•
Soften by laying a damp paper towel or sponge on top of soil for
about 30 minutes.
•
Use a plastic scrubber and glass ceramic cooktop cleaner or use
the razor blade scraper. Rinse and dry.
•
Use a soapy sponge or cloth to remove grease; rinse thoroughly
and dry. Apply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.
•
Pans with aluminum, copper or stainless steel bases may leave
marks. Treat immediately after surface has cooled with glass
ceramic cooktop cleaner. If this does not remove the marks, try a
mild abrasive (Bon Ami®, Soft Scrub® without bleach) with a
dampened paper towel. Rinse and reapply creme. Failure to
remove metal marks before the next heating makes removal very
difficult.
•
The minerals in some water can be transferred onto the surface
and cause stains. Use undiluted white vinegar, rinse and dry.
Recondition with glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.
Important Reminders
•
Wait until the surface has completely
cooled before applying any type of
cleaner.
Exception: Remove dry sugar, sugar
syrup, tomato products and milk immedi-
ately with the razor blade scraper (See
See "Cleaning Techniques for Stubborn
Soil (Glass Ceramic Cooktop Models)" on
page 36.)
•
Keep the ignitor ports clean for proper
performance. It is necessary to clean
these when there is a boilover or
when the burner does not light even
though the electronic ignitors click.
•
A damp igniter will prevent burner
from igniting. For proper burner per-
formance, keep ignitors clean and
dry.
•
Remove any lint that may remain after
cleaning.
