Cleaning The Glass Cooktop - GE JB735FPDS Owner's Manual

Cleaning the Glass Cooktop

To maintain and protect the surface of your 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. Regular use of ceramic cooktop cleaner will help keep
the cooktop looking new.
3. Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few drops of
ceramic cooktop cleaner directly to the cooktop.
4. Use a paper towel or non-scratch cleaning pad for
ceramic cooktops to clean the entire cooktop surface.
5. Use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning
residue. No need to rinse..
Burned-On Residue
NOTE: DAMAGE to your glass surface may occur if you
use scrub pads other than those recommended.
1. Allow the cooktop to cool.
2. Spread a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleaner on
the entire burned residue area.
3. Using a non-scratch cleaning pad for ceramic
cooktops, rub the residue area, applying pressure as
needed.
4. If any residue remains, repeat the steps listed above
as needed.
Heavy, Burned-On Residue
1. Allow the cooktop to cool.
2. Use a single-edge razor blade scraper at approximately
a 45° angle against the glass surface and scrape the
soil. It will be necessary to apply pressure to the razor
scraper in order to remove the residue.
3. After scraping with the razor scraper, spread a few drops
of ceramic cooktop cleaner on the entire burned residue
area. Use a non-scratch cleaning pad to remove any
remaining residue.
4. For additional protection, after all residue has been
removed, polish the entire surface with ceramic
cooktop cleaner and a paper towel.
Metal Marks and Scratches
1. Be careful not to slide pots and pans across your
cooktop. It will leave metal markings on the cooktop
surface.
These marks are removable using the ceramic
cooktop cleaner with a non-scratch cleaning pad for
ceramic cooktops.
2. If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper
are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave black
discoloration on the cooktop.
