Caring for your cooktop

This cooktop is designed for easy care.
However, ceramic glass cooktops need
to be maintained differently than standard
electric coil elements. Foods spilled directly
on the cooktop will not burn off as on coil
elements. Because of this, the surface
should be dust-free and soil-free before
heating.
Your cooktop has been prepolished at
the factory for improved protection and
cleanability. The Cooktop Polishing Creme,
a paper towel or a sponge, and a single-
edge razor blade in a holder is all you need
to clean your cooktop. For proper cleaning
methods, please review the chart on page
13. Follow this chart after each use to
ensure top performance and to preserve
that uniquely elegant look.
NOTE: Let cooktop cool before cleaning.

To avoid damaging the cooktop, follow
these instructions:
• Remove sugar spills and soils from the
cooktop while the surface is still warm to
avoid pitting on the surface.
• Marks from sliding metal pans on the
cooktop are difficult to remove completely.
Use cooktop polishing creme to clean
the area. Several applications may be
necessary.
• Do not use steel wool, plastic cleaning
pads, abrasive powdered cleansers,
chlorine bleach, rust remover, ammonia,
or glass cleaning products with ammonia.
These products could damage the cooktop
surface.
