Care and Cleaning
Cleaning the Cooktop Surface (cont.)
•
Metal marks – Utensils/pans will occasionally leave
marks. If Cleaning Crème does not remove marks use
a mild cleanser (i.e.: Bon Ami) to remove.
Rinse and dry surface and apply Dacor Cooktop
Cleaning Crème. NOTE: Magnetic stainless steel and
porcelain coated steel/iron pans are less likely to
leave marks than other types of cookware. Uncoated
cast iron pans are more likely to cause marking on the
glass. Always avoid sliding cookware across the glass.
•
Water spots
1. Apply undiluted white vinegar, rinse and dry.
2. Apply Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Crème.
•
Scratches
Scratches cannot be removed. Avoid scratches by
using clean pans and removing gritty food spillages
quickly. Keep the cooktop clean and apply Dacor
Cooktop Cleaning Crème often. Surface scratches will
not affect cooking capability.
How to use Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Creme
•
Regular use of Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Crème on
the glass surface will protect the surface and make it
easier to remove food soil and water spots.
•
To clean the cooktop, be sure it is cool, then apply
about a 1/4 teaspoon of Dacor Cooktop Cleaning
Creme*, to the ceramic glass surface with a lightly
dampened clean cloth. Use a second clean cloth to
remove any remaining cleaner residue. Wipe the
cooktop surface with a dry cloth to completely elimi-
nate any remaining moisture.
