General Cleaning

For best results, use the cooktop scraper while the
■
cooktop is still warm but not hot to the touch. It is
recommended to wear an oven mitt while scraping
the warm cooktop.
Hold the cooktop scraper at approximately a 45°
■
angle against the glass surface and scrape the residue.
It will be necessary to apply pressure in order to
remove the residue.
Allow the cooktop to cool down completely before
proceeding to Step 2.
2. Apply a few dime-sized drops of a cooktop cleaner to the
affected areas.
Rub the cooktop cleaner onto the cooktop surface with
■
a cooktop cleaning pad. Some pressure is needed to
remove stubborn stains.
Allow the cleaner to dry to a white haze before
■
proceeding to Step 3.
3. Polish with a clean, dry cloth or a clean, dry paper towel.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 as necessary for stubborn
■
or burned-on stains.
