Cleaning the Cooktop
Precautions for Long Life and Good Appearance of the 
Surface
Regular, daily care using the glass ceramic cooktop 
cleaner will protect the surface and make it easier to 
remove food soil and water spots.
The glass ceramic cooking surface is a durable 
material resistant to impact but not unbreakable if a 
pan or other object is dropped on it.
Never cook food directly on the glass.
Avoid placing a wok support ring, trivet or other metal 
stand on glass surface.
Do not use the glass surface as a cutting board.
Do not slide cookware across the cooking surface; it 
may scratch the glass.
Do not place wet pans on the glass surface.
Before Use Care
Care is easy when preventative steps are taken. For 
example, apply a small amount of glass ceramic cooktop 
cleaner (packaged with range) on a daily basis. This 
provides a protective film that makes it easy to remove 
water spots or food spatters. The temperature of the 
cooking surface reduces the protective qualities of this 
cleaner. It must be reapplied before each use. Use a clean 
cloth and apply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner before each 
use to remove dust or metal marks that can occur on the 
counter level surface between uses.
Daily Cleaning Techniques
1. Clean the surface when completely cool with the glass 
ceramic cooktop cleaner. 
Exception: Remove dry sugar, sugar syrup, tomato 
products and milk immediately with the razor blade 
scraper (See Cooktop Care Chart, next page).
2. Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp sponge or paper 
towel. Rinse and dry. Use white vinegar if smudge 
remains; rinse.
3. Apply a small amount of the glass ceramic cooktop 
cleaner. When dry, buff surface with a clean paper 
towel or cloth. 
Using the Razor Blade Scraper
Use the scraper to remove dried or baked on foods. Hold 
the scraper at a 30° angle. Move it over the soil to lift it off 
of the cooktop. Finish with a clean, damp sponge or paper 
towel. Apply white vinegar if smudge remains and rinse.
Cleaning the Control Knobs
1. Pull out and off to remove both knob. Wipe with hot, 
soapy cloth, rinse and dry. Do not soak.
2. To replace, push knob straight onto shaft.
Do Not Use the Following Cleaners
Glass cleaners which contain ammonia or chlorine 
bleach. These ingredients may permanently etch or 
stain the cooktop.
Caustic Cleaners
Oven cleaners such as Easy Off® may etch the 
cooktop surface.
Abrasive Cleaners
Metal scouring pads and scrub sponges such as 
Scotch Brite® can scratch and/or leave metal marks.
Soap-filled scouring pads such as SOS® can scratch 
the surface.
Powdery cleaners containing chlorine compounds can 
permanently stain cooktop.
Flammable cleaners such as lighter fluid or WD-40.
CAUTION
Do not use any cleaner on the glass while the 
surface is hot. The resulting fumes can be 
hazardous to your health. Heated cleaner can 
chemically attack and damage surface. Use only the 
razor blade scraper.
