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. Clean and buff with a paper towel or a 3M Scotch-Brite® Blue Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge
(see instructions below). 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 net slide anything metal or glass across the
cooktop. Do net use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the
kitchen. Do net cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do net/"_t

Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
_ 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 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-Brite®
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 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.
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use
any scrub pad other than a 3M Scotch-Brite® 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 soils.
