Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance (Models: 790.9015 _)
Consistent and proper cleanlng is essential to maintalnlng your ceramlc glass cOoktop
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CookTop® Cleaning Creme to the ceramic
surface (on the web visit www.sears.com for replacement cooktop cleaner, item number 40079). Buff with a
non-abraslve 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 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, because they may cause it to crack.
Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop (Models: 790.9015 _)
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.
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 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 pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the
cooktop for any other 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur
if you use an abrasive type scratch pad. Only use cleaning products
that have been specifically designed for ceramic glass cooktop.
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 coot, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.
