Care and Cleaning
Cooktop maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to
maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply
some of the cooktop cleaner supplied with your new
appliance. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or no-
scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning
easier when soiled from cooking. The special
cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish
on the glass to help prevent scratches and
abrasions.
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on
the cooktop can cause metal markings on the
cooktop surface. These marks should be removed
immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the
cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become
permanent if not removed prior to future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with
rough or dirty bottoms can mark or scratch the
cooktop surface.
Do not:
• Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.
• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom;
replace with clean cookware before using.
• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work
surface in the kitchen.
• Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface
without a pan.
• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass
cooktop, they may cause it to crack.
Cooktop cleaning
CAUTION
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls
are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of the ceramic glass cooktop
cleaner directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel
or use a non-abrasive, no-scratch cleaning pad to
clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the
cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of the ceramic glass cooktop
cleaner directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled
area using a non-abrasive, no-scratch cleaning
pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the
pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other
purpose.
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a razor
blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle
to the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop
cleaning cream and buff surface clean.
