How To Keep Your Cooktop Looking Like New - Whirlpool GJC3034H Use And Care Manual

How to keep your cooktop looking like new

Your cooktop is designed for easy care. Foods spilled directly on the cooktop will not burn off
as on open-coil elements. Because of this, you should keep the surface dust free and soil free
before heating. Use the Cooktop Polishing Creme, included with your range, to clean and
maintain the cooktop.
Do not use steel wool, plastic cleaning pads, abrasive powdered cleansers, chlorine bleach,
rust remover, ammonia, or glass cleaners with ammonia. They may damage the cooktop
surface.
TYPE OF SOIL
Light to
moderate soil
Heavy soil, dark
streaks, specks,
and discoloration
Burned-on soils
Sugary spills
(jellies, candy
syrups)
Metal marks from
copper, aluminum
pans
Tiny scratches or
abrasions
NOTE: Always wipe your cooktop with clean water and dry it well after using the cleanser
to prevent streaking or staining.
