CARE & CLEANING

Ceramic glass cooktop cleaning &

maintenance

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to

maintaining your Ceramic glass cooktop.

Prior to using your cooktop for the fi rst time, apply some

of cooktop cleaning creme to the ceramic surface. Clean

and buff with a non abrasive cloth or pad. This will make

cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special

cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective fi nish 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

not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.

Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work

surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the

cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or

hard objects on the glass cooktop, or they may crack it.

Cleaning recommendations for the

ceramic glass cooktop

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly

to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-

abrasive plastic type no-scratch pad 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 non-

abrasive plastic type no-scratch pad, applying pressure

as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the

cooktop for any other purpose.

WARNING

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.

CAUTION

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are

turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

IMPORTANT

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you

use an abrasive type scratch pad. Only use cleaning

products that have been specifi cally designed for

ceramic glass cooktop.

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, then

apply a few drops of

cleaning cream and buff

surface clean.

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.

Do not use the following on the ceramic glass

cooktop:

• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads,

such as metal and some nylon pads. They may

scratch the cooktop, making it more diffi cult to

clean.

• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine

bleach, ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may

etch or discolor the cooktop.

• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper

towels, as they can leave soil or lint on the

cooktop which can burn and cause Special

Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum

Cooking Utensils

•

Aluminum foil

Use of aluminum foil will

damage the cooktop. Do not

use under any circumstances.

•

Aluminum utensils

Since the melting point of

aluminum is much lower than

that of other metals, care

must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used.

Pans that boil dry may permanently damage cooktop

by breaking, fusing to, or marking it.
