Cooktop
Cleaning
& Maintenance
Consistent
and proper
cleaning
is essential
to maintaining
your ceramic
glass cooktop.
Note: Additional cooktop cleaning cream may be ordered by visiting the Frigidaire website at www.frigidaire.com
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply some of the cooktop cleaning cream supplied with your new range. 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 3rior 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. Do not use cookware
with dirt or dirt build up on bottom;
replace
with clean cookware before using. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or
work surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface
without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass cooktop,
they may cause it to crack.
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can
chemically damage the ceramic-glass
surface.
Cleaning
Recommendations
for the Ceramic
Glass Cooktop
For light to moderate
soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive
plastic
type 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 CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive
plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for
anyother purpose.
if soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding scraper
at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning
cream and buff surface clean.
O
IMPORTANT NOTE: Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an
abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically
designed for ceramic glass cooktops.
Plastic or foods
with a high sugar
content:
These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the
ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface)
may occur if not removed immediately.
After turning the surface elements OFF, use
a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot
surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy
or burned on soils.
