Cleaning the Glass Cooktop

CARE AND CLEANING: 

Cleaning the Glass Cooktop

Normal Daily Use Cleaning

ONLY use ceramic cooktop cleaner on the glass 

cooktop. Other creams may not be as effective.
To maintain and protect the surface of your glass 

cooktop, follow these steps:
1.  Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it 

with ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps protect the 

top and makes cleanup easier.

2.  Regular use of ceramic cooktop cleaner will help keep 

the cooktop looking new.

3.  Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few drops of 

ceramic cooktop cleaner directly to the cooktop.

4.  Use a paper towel or non-scratch cleaning pad for 

ceramic cooktops to clean the entire cooktop surface.

5.  Use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning 

residue. No need to rinse.

NOTE:

 It is very important that you DO NOT heat the 

cooktop until it has been cleaned thoroughly.

Burned-On Residue

NOTE:

 DAMAGE to your glass surface may occur if you 

use scrub pads other than those recommended.

1.  Allow the cooktop to cool.

2.  Spread a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleaner on 

the entire burned residue area.

3.  Using a non-scratch cleaning pad for ceramic 

cooktops, rub the residue area, applying pressure as 

needed.

4.  If any residue remains, repeat the steps listed above 

as needed.

5.  For additional protection, after all residue has been 

removed, polish the entire surface with ceramic 

cooktop cleaner and a paper towel.

Heavy, Burned-On Residue

1.  Allow the cooktop to cool.

2.  Use a single-edge razor blade scraper at approximately 

a 45° angle against the glass surface and scrape the 

soil. It will be necessary to apply pressure to the razor 

scraper in order to remove the residue.

3.  After scraping with the razor scraper, spread a few drops 

of ceramic cooktop cleaner on the entire burned residue 

area. Use a non-scratch cleaning pad to remove any 

remaining residue.

4.  For additional protection, after all residue has been 

removed, polish the entire surface with ceramic cooktop 

cleaner and a paper towel.

A non-scratch ceramic cooktop scraper and all recommended 

supplies are available through our Parts Center. See the 

Accessories and Consumer Support sections at the end of this 

manual.

NOTE:

 Do not use a dull or nicked blade.
