To Clean the Ceramic-glass Cooktop (some models) (continued)
Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils
1) Aluminum foil
Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any circumstances.
2) Aluminum utensils
The melting point of aluminum being much lower than that of other metals, care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans
are used. If allowed to boil dry, not only will the utensil be ruined, but also permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusing
or marking may affect the ceramic glass surface.
Things to Remember
1. Do not slide utensils across cooktop surface in any circumstance, doing so may scratch or _
metalmark the cooktop surface.
2. Avoid using bleach and do not use ammonia to clean the ceramic surface.
3. Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas.
4. Never slide oven racks across cooktop surface. They may scratch or metalmark the cooktop.
5. If cooktop should break, do not use cooktop or attempt to clean it. Call your Sears Service Center immediately.
6. Never use rivet or metal stand between the cooking utensil and the ceramic cooktop. The ceramic surface may be
scratched, metal marked or etched by such items.
7. Sugary spills can cause pitting of your cooktop surface. Therefore, you must begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop is
still hot. Use caution when following the steps below.
a) Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.
b) Wearing an oven mitt, use a razor to scrape the hot spill out of the cooking zone to cooler area on the cooktop.
c) Allow the cooktop to cool.
Use and Care of Glass Surface
Problem Cause To Remove
Fine "brown
lines" (tiny
scratches or
abrasions which
have collected
soil)
Metal marking
(mark or black
marks).
Brown streaks
and specks.
Coarse particles (salt,
sand, sugar or grit)
between bottom of
cookware and cooktop
that are not removed
before cooking.
Using incorrect cleaning
materials.
Sliding or scraping
metal utensils or oven
shelves across cooktop.

for other kitchen tasks.
To Prevent
Clean cooktop after
every use.
Daily use of cleaner
creme.
Do not slide cookware
across cooktop.
Use cleaner creme
with clean, damp paper
towel.
Tiny scratches are not removable.
They can be minimized by
continual use of cleaner creme.
Such scratches do not affect
cooking.
Apply cleaner creme
with dampened paper
towel to a cooled surface.
Use a small amount of cleaner
creme with clean, damp paper
towel.
NOTE: Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the surface elements, the glass surface will turn green when the element
will be turned off. This phenomenon is normal and the glass will come back to its original white color after it has completely
cooled down. (White glass cooktops only).
