To Clean the Cooktop Glass
The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the burners are sealed, cleanups
are easy when spillovers are cleaned up immediately. Remove burner grates before cleaning.
To clean the cooktop, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your heat-resistant glass top. Spills
and spatters should be wiped up using a clean paper towel and sudsy water. This should be
done either as soon as possible after the spill occurs, after cooking is completed, or at the
latest, before using the cooktop again. Use caution if the cooktop is hot. For heavy spills,
spatter or burned-on materials, use a razor blade scraper. Hold the razor blade scraper at a
30 ° angle and remove food spills or burned on food residue.
Finish the cleaning process by applying a recommended heat-resistant glass cooktop
cleaning cream. Apply cleaner with clean, damp paper towel. Rinse with a paper towel
dampened with clean water and wipe dry. Always wipe the cooktop thoroughly to avoid
heating any cleaner residue.
DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be
hazardous to your health, and can chemically damage the glass surface. Be sure the controls
are turned to OFF. Do not use commercial oven cleaners on any part of the cooktop.
Damage to the finish or parts could result.
DO NOT use the following on the heat-resistant glass cooktop:
1. Abrasive plastic, nylon, metal scouring or cloth pads. They may scratch the cooktop and make
it more difficult to clean later. Always use a new, clean paper towel when cleaning the heat-
resistant glass top.
2. Anything that may melt (plastics, aluminum foil, sugar or food with high sugar content).
3. Heavy duty cleaners, rust or stain removers.
4. Chlorine bleach, ammonia, hydrofluoric acid or anyother kind of chemical cleaners. They may
etch or discolor the cooktop.
5. Sponges, cloths or dish towels. Always usenew, clean paper towel when cleaning the cooktop.
Lint or soil remaining on the cooktop from a cloth or sponge can burn and cause discoloration.
