LG LDE4415 Maintenance Manual

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Glass-Ceramic
Cooktop
CAUTION
• Do not use scrub pads or abrasive cleaning
pads. They may damage your cooktop surface.
• For your safety, wear an oven mitt or pot
holder while using a scraper on the hot cooking
surface.
Use ceramic cooktop cleaner on the glass cooktop.
Other creams may not be as effective or may scratch,
damage or stain the cooktop surface.
To maintain and protect the surface of the glass
cooktop, follow these steps:
1
Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean
it with a ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps
protect the top and makes cleanup easier.
2
Use ceramic cooktop cleaner daily to help keep
the cooktop looking new.
3
Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few
drops of cleaner directly to the cooktop.
4
Use a paper towel to clean the entire cooktop
surface.
5
Rinse with clear water and use a dry cloth or
paper towel to remove all cleaning residue.
NOTE
Do not heat the cooktop until it has been cleaned
thoroughly.
IMPORTANT
If any sugar or food containing sugar (preserves,
ketchup, tomato sauce, jellies, fudge, candy, syrups,
chocolate) spills, or plastic or foil melts on the
cooktop, remove the molten material IMMEDIATELY
with a metal razor scraper (it will not damage the
decorated cooking surface) while the cooking surface
is still hot to avoid the risk of damage to the
glass-ceramic surface. For your safety, please use an
oven mitt or pot holder while scraping the hot cooking
surface.
Burned-On Residue
1
While the cooktop is still hot, remove any burnt
on deposits or spilled food from the
glass-ceramic cooking surface with a suitable
metal razor scraper. (Similar to scraping paint
off of a windowpane, it will not damage the
decorated cooking surface.) Hold the scraper at
an approximate 30° angle to the cooktop.
NOTE
• Do not use a dull or nicked blade.
• To prevent burns, wear an oven mitt or pot
holder while using the metal scraper.
2
When the cooking surface has cooled down,
apply a few dabs (about the size of a dime) of an
approved cleaner in each burner area and work
the cleaning cream over the cooktop surface
with a damp paper towel.
