Porcelain Enamel Cooktop Cleaning instructions
Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemically
damage the cooking surface.
Before cleaning the surface cooktop, be sure the controls
are turned
to OFF and the cooktop is cool.
DO NOT use commerclaJ oven cleaners on the exterior surfaces including rangetop and door frame.
Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your porcelain enamel cooktop. If food spills and grease spatters
are not removed, they may burn onto the surface of the cooktop and cause permanent discoloration.
Daily Cleanlng
For normal soil:
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Wipe off spills and spatters using a dean paper towel or a clean cloth with warm, soapy waten
3. If needed, use a non-abraslve plastic type no-scratch pad or other mild household cleaners.
4. Be sure to rinse off the cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating.
For heavy, burned-on soil:
I. Allow cooktop surface to cool
2. Use a soap filled scouring pad with warm water or cover heavily soiled spots with a solution of clear water and ammonia.
Scour gently. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
3. If any soil remains, apply a few drops of a recommended cooktop cleaning cream on the spots and rub gently using a dean
damp cloth or scouring pad. Buff with a dry cloth until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning with the cooktop
cleaning cream leaves a protective coating which helps in preventing scratches and abrasions.

Sugary spills can chemically damage your cooktop surface. Therefore, you must begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop is
still hot. Use caution when following the steps below.
1. Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.

3. Allow the cooktop to cool. Follow the instructions above for heavy, burned-on soil.
