Cleaning The Cooktop - GE JGP3036 Owner's Manual

Cleaning the Cooktop
Cooktop Surface
Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong
liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or
cleaning powders on the cooktop surface. Clean with a
mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and
water. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at
room temperature and not in direct sunlight.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and
basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration
and should be wiped up as soon as hot surfaces cool,
then clean and rinse.
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy
water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe
the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner
instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend
Soft Cleanser™ will remove surface rust, tarnish and
small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit
and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp,
soft sponge.
To inquire about purchasing cleaning products
including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish,
see the Accessories and Consumer Support sections
at the end of this manual.

1. B efore using the cooktop for the first time, clean it
with a ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps protect
the top and makes cleanup easier.

keep the cooktop looking new.

a ceramic cooktop cleaner directly to the cooktop.

for ceramic cooktops to clean the entire cooktop
surface.

residue. No need to rinse.
