Cleaning and Maintenance
Induction Glass Top
Cleaning of glass tops is diff erent from cleaning a standard porcelain fi nish. To maintain and protect the surface of your new glass top, follow
these basic steps:
For normal, light soil:
1. Rub a few drops of a non-abrasive glass cleaning cream to the cool soiled area using a damp paper towel.
2. Wipe until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning leaves a protective coating which is essential in preventing scratches and
abrasions.
For heavy, burned soil:
1. Rub a few drops of non-abrasive glass cleaning cream to the cool soiled area using a damp paper towel.
2. Carefully scrape remaining soil with a single-edged razor blade. Hold the blade at a 30º angle against the ceramic surface.
3. If any soil remains, repeat the steps above. For additional protection, after all soil has been removed, polish the entire surface with the
cleaning cream.
4. Buff with a dry paper towel. As the cleaning cream cleans, it leaves a protective coating on the glass surface. This coating helps to
prevent build-up of mineral deposits (water spots) and will make future cleaning easier.
Note: Dishwashing detergents remove this protective coating and therefore, make the glass ceramic top more susceptible to staining.
