Radiant Module - GE P385 Use And Care & Installation Manual

Radiant Module–Glass Ceramic Cooktop Cleaning
Cleaning of glass ceramic cooktops is different from
cleaning a standard porcelain finish. To maintain and
protect the surface of your new glass ceramic cooktop
follow these basic steps.
Before using your module for the first time, clean
it with the recommended cleaning creme. This helps
protect the top and makes clean-up easier.
DAILY CLEANING: Use only the recommended
cleaning creme on Glass Ceramic.
For normal, light soil:
1. Rub a few drops (less is better) of the recommended
cleaning creme onto the soiled area using a damp paper
towel. Wipe until all soil and creme are removed.
Frequent cleaning leaves a protective coating which
is essential in preventing scratches and abrasions.
2. Clean the surface with the recommended cleaning
creme after each use.
For heavy, burned-on soil:
1. Apply a few drops of the recommended cleaning
creme to the (cool) soiled area.
2. Using a damp paper towel, rub creme into the
burned-on area. As with any burned-on spill, this
may require some effort.
3. Carefully scrape remaining soil with the razor
scraper. Hold the scraper at a 30° angle against the
ceramic surface.
4. If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above.
For additional protection, after all soil has been
removed, polish the entire surface with the
recommended cleaning creme.
5. Buff with a dry paper towel.
NOTE:
• Using a razor scraper will not damage the surface
if the 30° angle is maintained.
• Be sure to use a new, sharp razor scraper.
Do not use a dull or nicked blade.
• Store the razor scraper out of reach of children.
PRECAUTIONS
• Most cleaners contain ammonia, chemicals and
abrasives which can damage the surface of your
cooktop. Use only the recommended cleaning
creme for proper cleaning and protection of your
glass ceramic surface.
• If you slide aluminum or copper cookware across
the surface of your cooktop, they may leave metal
markings which appear as scratches. If this should
happen, use the razor scraper and cleaning creme to
remove these markings. Failure to remove these
residues immediately may leave permanent marks.
• Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using
the recommended cleaning creme or full strength white
vinegar.
Special Care:
Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy
syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of the
surface of your cooktop (not covered by the warranty)
unless the spill is removed while still hot. Special
care should be taken when removing hot
substances. Follow these instructions carefully and
remove the soil while the spill is still hot.
1. Turn off all the surface units affected by the
spillover. Remove hot pans.
2. Wearing an oven mitt, hold the razor
scraper at a 30° angle to the cooktop
and scrape the hot spill to a cool area
outside the surface unit.
3. With the spill in a cool area, use a dry paper towel to
remove any excess. Any spillover remaining should
be left until the surface of the module has cooled.
Do not continue to use the soiled surface unit until
all of the spillover has been removed. Follow the
steps under heavy, burned-on soil to continue
the cleaning process.
General Information:
As the recommended cleaning creme cleans, it
leaves a protective coating on the cooktop surface.
This coating helps to prevent build-up of mineral
deposits (water spots) and will make future cleaning
easier. Dishwashing detergents remove this protective
coating and therefore make the cooktop more
susceptible to staining.

• If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum, copper, or
enamel are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may bond
with the glass ceramic and leave a black discoloration.
This should be removed immediately before heating
again or the discoloration may be permanent.
• Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film
on the cooktop. The recommended cleaning creme
will remove this discoloration.
Read and follow all instructions and warnings
on the recommended cleaning creme label.
