Glass-Ceramic Cooktop - Kenmore 911.42675 Use & Care Manual

Glass-Ceramic C ooktop
Cleaning
Cleaning a glass-ceramic cooktop is
different from cleaning a standard
porcelain cooktop. To maintain and
protect your glass-ceramic cooktop
follow these basic steps.
CAREAND CLEANING
IMPORTANT: Using a
razor scraper will not
damage the surface if
the 45 ° angle is
maintained. Do not use a dull or
nicked razor blade on your
cooktop. Store the razor scraper
_,out of reach of children.
J
Use only Cooktop Cleaning Creme s
on glass-ceramic.
For normal, light soil:
1. Using a damp paper towel, rub a
few drops of creme onto soiled
area. Wipe until all soil and creme
are removed.
2. Clean surface with creme after
each cooktop use. Frequent
cleaning is essential in preventing
scratches and abrasions.
For heavy, burned-on soil:
1. Apply a few drops of cleaning
creme to the cool, soiled area.
Spread the creme across the
entire soiled area.
2. Hold scraper at a 45 ° angle
against the glass-ceramic surface.
The 45 ° angle makes the scraping
easier.
3. Scrape soil with the enclosed
razor scraper. Keep small amount
of creme on the soil as you
scrape. Heavily soiled areas may
require repeated applications of
creme. It will be necessary to
press down on the razor scraper
while scraping the soiled area with
cooktop creme.
4. If any soil remains, repeat the
steps listed above.
Sugar spills (such as jellies, fudge,
candy syrups) or melted plastic can
cause pitting of the cooktop surface
unless the spill is removed while it is
still hot. Special care should be
taken when removing hot
substances.
Follow these instructions carefully
and remove soil while spill is hot.
1. Turn off the cooking zone affected
by the spill. Remove the utensils.
2. Wearing an oven mitt, hold the razor
scraper at a 45 ° angle against the
cooktop and scrape hot spill to a
cool area outside the cooking zone.
3. With the spill in a cool area, use a
dry paper towel to remove any
spillover. Any spill remaining
should be left until the surface of
the cooktop has cooled. Do not
continue to use the soiled cooking
zone until all of the spill has been
removed. Follow the steps under
Heavy Soil to continue the
cleaning process.
As the creme cleans, it leaves a
protective coating that helps prevent
buildup of mineral deposits (water
spots) and will make future cleaning
easier. Dishwashing detergent removes
the protective coating and should not
be used.
