cooktoP cleaninG and Maintenance

consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop

!

cautioN

before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to off and the cooktop is cool.

!

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.

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended 

Cleaning Creme to the ceramic surface. A sample of that cleaning creme 

is supplied with your cooktop and it is available in most hardware stores. 

Clean and buff with a paper towel. This will make cleaning easier when 

soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protec

-

tive 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. 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, they 

may cause it to crack or break.

Glass cooktoP

For light to moderate soil:

Apply  a  few  drops  of  CookTop®  Cleaning  Creme 

directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel to clean 

the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop 

is  cleaned  thoroughly,  leaving  no  residue.  Do  not 

use the towel you use to clean the cooktop for any 

other purpose.

For heavy,  burned on soil:

First, clean the surface as described above. Then, 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.
