Cleaning
BEFORE CLEANING, BE CERTAIN ALL ELEMENTS ARE TURNED OFF AND THE
COOKTOP IS COOL.
CAUTION:
Do NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be
hazardous to your health, and can chemically attack the glass-ceramic
surface.
•
The cartridge does not need to be removed from the cooktop for normal cleaning.
If removed, bottom may be wiped clean with damp cloth. If electrical terminals
on cartridge are cleaned, dry them thoroughly before using.
•
For general daily cleaning and light surface soil, use a clean dishcloth or paper
towel and wash surface with solution of water and any of these cleansers:
dishwashing liquid such as Ivoryor Joy, baking soda, fine polishing powders such
as Bon Ami, or commercial ceramic cooktop cleansers such as Elco Cooktop
Cleaning Creme (Part No. 20000001 ). Wipe with clean damp cloth or paper towel.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
•
To remove residue from burned on spills, make a paste of water and baking soda
or Bon Ami, Bar Keepers Friend, Comet, Shiny Sinks or nonabrasive soft
scrubbing cleansers, such as EIcoCooktop Cleaning Creme (PartNo. 20000001).
Scrub with paper towels, nylon or plastic scrubber, such as Tufty. Rinse and dry
thoroughly. If stain is not removed easily, allow paste to remain on surface for
30 to 40 minutes. Keep moist by covering with wet paper towel.
•
To remove burned on spot, use a single edge razor blade. Place blade edge on
cooktop at 30 ° angle; scrape off spot. Clean remainder of soil with method
described above.
Save on Clean-up
Time
•
Make sure bottoms of cookpots are always clean and dry. (Soil from the cookpot
bottom can be transferred to the cooktop surface.) Before using cookpots on the
glass-ceramic cooktop for the first time, and periodically as needed, clean the
bottoms with scouring pads or other cleansers. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
•
Make it a practice to wipe cooktop surface with a clean damp cloth or paper towel
before each use; dry thoroughly. Invisible spatters, dust specks, cleansers or
water can cause stains that appear after unit is heated. A sponge or dishcloth
which is not clean will leave film and soil laden detergent water which may cause
stains on surface after area is heated.
When frying, use a spatter shield to reduce spattering.
•
Use correct control settings and cookware large enough to hold food and liquid
to prevent boilovers and spattering.
•
If a bad spillover occurs while cooking, spills may be cleaned from the cooktop
while it is hot to prevent a tough cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe
with a clean damp towel. Be careful to avoid burns from steam or hand touching
the hot cooktop.
