GLASS COOKTOP CLEANING

(on some models)

Glass Cooktop Cleaning

Cleaning of glass cooktops is different from cleaning
a standard porcelain finish. To maintain and protect
the surface of your new glass cooktop follow these
basic steps.
Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean it
with Cook Top Cleaning Creme. This helps protect
the top and makes clean-up easier.
DAILY CLEANING: Use only Cook Top Cleaning
Creme on the glass cooktop.

For normal, light soil:

1. Rub a few drops (less is better) of Cook Top

Cleaning Creme onto soiled area using a damp
paper towel. Buff with a dry paper towel until all

soil and creme are removed. Frequent cleaning
leaves a protective coating which is essential in

preventing scratches and abrasions.

2. Clean surface with Cook Top Cleaning Creme

after each use.

For heavy, burned on soil:
1. Apply a few drops of Cook Top Cleaning Creme

to the (cool) soiled area.

2. Using a damp paper towel, rub creme 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 Cook
Top Cleaning Creme.

5. Buff with a dry paper towel.
NOTE:
. Using a razor scraper will not damage the surface

if the 30° angle is maintained.

● 

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.

SPECIAL CARE: 

Sugary spillovers (such as jellies,

fudge, candy syrups) or melted plastics can cause
pitting of the surface of your cooktop (not covered by
the warranty) unless the spill is removed while still
hot. Special care should be taken when removing

hot substances. Follow these instructions carefully
and remove soil while spill is still hot.

1. Turn off all surface units affected by the spillover.

Remove hot pans.

2. Wearing an oven mitt, hold the

razor scraper at a 30° angle to the

 : 

-

cooktop and scrape hot spill to a 

     ,

cool area outside the surface unit.

/

3. With the spill in a cool area, use a dry paper 

 to

remove any excess. Any spillover remaining should
be left until the surface of the cooktop has cooled.
Do not continue to use the soiled surface unit until all
of the spillover has been removed. Follow the steps
under Heavy Soil to continue the cleaning process.

COOKTOP SEAL: To clean the cooktop seal, let a
wet cloth rest on it for a few minutes, then wipe clean.
Use a mild detergent if needed. Do not use a knife or any
sharp object on the seal because it will cut or damage it.

GENERAL INFORMATION: As the Cook Top
Cleaning Creme cleans, it leaves a protective coating
on the cooktop surface. This coating helps to prevent
build-up of mineral deposits (water spots) and will
make future cleaning easier. Dishwashing detergents
remove this protective coating and therefore make the
cooktop more susceptible to staining.

PRECAUTIONS

● 

Most cleaners contain ammonia, chemicals and

abrasives which can damage the surface of your
cooktop.  Use only the Cook Top Cleaning
Creme for proper cleaning and protection of
your glass cooktop.

● 

If you slide  aluminum or copper cookware across

the surface of your cooktop, they may leave metal
markings which appear as scratches.   this should
happen, use the razor scraper and Cleaning Creme to
remove these markings. Failure to remove these
residues immediately may leave permanent marks.

● 

Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable

using Cook Top Cleaning Creme or full strength
white vinegar.

● 

If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum, copper or

enamel are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may bond
with the glass cooktop and leave a black
discoloration. This should be removed immediately
before heating again or the discoloration maybe
permanent.

. Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent

film on the cooktop. Cook Top Cleaning Creme
will remove this discoloration.

Read and follow all instructions and warnings
on Cook Top Cleaning Creme labels.
