General Cleaning
FEATURE OVERVIEW
• Cleaning Recommendations
for Ceramic Glass Cooktops
(cont'd)
Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:
• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and
some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more
difficult to clean.
• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven
cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.
• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave soil
or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.
Do not use
cleaners on a heated
surface. Fumes could be
hazardous. Wait for
area to cool before
cleaning. Do not use
cleaner cream to clean
porcelain, paint or
aluminum because it can
damage the surface.
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.
