Tips to Protect the
Smoothtop Surface
CJeaning (see page 21 for more information}
, Before first use, clean the cooktop.
, Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep
your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage.
, If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean the
spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough
cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe spill with a
clean dry towel
, Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the
cooktop trim for a long period of time.
, Never use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads
which will scratch the cooktop.
, Never use chlorine bleach, ammonia or other cleansers not
specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic.
To Prevent Marks & Scratches
, Do [lot use glass pans. They may scratch the surface.
, Never place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and
pan. These items can mark or etch the top.
, Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans
may leave marks which need to be removed promptly. (See
Cleaning, page 21.}
, Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before
turning on to prevent scratches.
, To prevent scratching or damage to the glass-ceramic top,
do not leave sugar, salt or fats on the cooking area. Wipe
the cooktop surface with a clean cloth or paper towel
before using.
, Never slide heavy metal pans across the surface since
these may scratch.
To Prevent Stains
Never use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the
cooktop surface. A film will remain which may cause stains
on the cooking surface after the area is heated.
, Continuously cooking on a soiled surface may/will result in
a permanent stain.
