Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance
Cooktop
Cleaning
and
Maintenance
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CookTop® Cleaning Creme (P/N 22-40079) to the
ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or 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 bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide
anything
metal or glass across the cooktop. 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 glass cooktop,
they may cause it to crack.

Recommendations
for the Ceramic
Glass Cooktop
[Ir_r"4r_l"_J_l Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
_'l,','l.'l.'h'll_[L'l
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.
For light to moderate
soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTopO Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or a 3M Scotch-Brite®
Blue
Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge 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 3M Scotch-Bdte®
Blue Multi-Purpose
No Scratch Scrub Sponge, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the sponge you use to clean the
cooktop for any other purpose.
If soil remain, carefully scrape soil with a metal razor blade scraper,
holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove
loosened soil with cooktop cleaning cream and buffthe cooktop
surface clean.
[Ir_r"4_l"_"_;T_ Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if
you use any scrub pad other than a 3M Scotch-Bdte@
Blue Multi-
Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge.
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 soil.
