Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply some of 
the cooktop cleaning cream supplied with your new 
appliance. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or no-scratch 
cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled 
from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a 
protective finish 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 
(see Fig. 1). 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 or 
dirty bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.

•

Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. 

•

Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom; 
replace with clean cookware before using. 

•

Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in 
the kitchen. 

•

Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a 
pan.  

•

Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass 
cooktop, they may cause it to crack.

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 cleaning pad to clean the entire 
cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned 
thoroughly, leaving no residue.

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 cleaning pad, applying pressure as 
needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop 
for any other purpose.

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 with cooktop cleaning 
cream and buff surface clean.

Stainless Steel 
Surfaces

Always wipe or rub in the direction of 
the grain. Clean with a soapy 
sponge, then rinse and dry, or wipe 
with Fantastik® or Formula 409® 
sprayed on a paper towel. Protect 
and polish with Stainless Steel 
Magic® and a soft cloth. Remove 
water spots with a cloth dampened 
with white vinegar. Use Bar Keeper's 
Friend® to remove heat 
discoloration.

Plastic & 
Controls

When cool, clean with soapy water, 
rinse and dry.
