Daily
cleaning
Use only a recommended cleaning cream,
such as Cerama Brite or Cooktop Cleaning
Creme, on the glass cooktop.
Normal,
light soil
1
Rub a few drops (less is better) of the cleaning
cream onto soiled area using a damp paper
towel. Buff with a dry paper towel until all soil
and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning
leaves a protective coating which is essential
in preventing scratches and abrasions.
2
Clean the surface with the cleaning cream
after each use.
Heavy,
burned 
on soil
1
Apply a few drops of the cleaning cream to
the (cool) soiled area.
2
Using a damp paper towel, rub the cream
into the burned on area. As with any burned
on spill, this may require some effort.
3
Carefully scrape soil with razor scraper. 
Hold scraper at a 30° angle against the 
glass cooktop.
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 cleaning cream.
5
Buff with a dry paper towel. 
NOTE:
• 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.
General
information
Before you use the cooktop for the first time,
clean it with cleaning cream. This helps protect
the top and makes clean-up easier.
Proper care and cleaning are important so
your cooktop will give you efficient and
satisfactory service. If soil, mineral deposits
from evaporated water spills or metal rub-off
from aluminum cookware is not removed, it
will burn on the glass cooktop surface and
cause permanent discoloration. 
Follow these directions carefully in caring for
your cooktop to assure safe and proper
maintenance.
Be sure electrical power is off before cleaning
any part of the cooktop.
Be sure that the surface unit control knobs are
turned off and that the entire cooktop is cool
before cleaning. (Sugary spillovers and melted
plastics are an exception. See the section on
Special Care.) 
Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop.
The fumes can be hazardous to your health
and can chemically attack the glass surface.
