CARE AND CLEANING
CLEANING THE GLASS/CERAMIC
COOKTOP
• DO NOT use scrub pads or abrasive cleaning pads.
They may damage the cooktop surface.
• For your safety, wear an oven mitt or potholder while
cleaning the hot cooking surface.
CAUTION
Use ceramic cooktop cleaner on the glass cooktop.
Other creams may not be as effective or may scratch,
damage or stain the cooktop surface.
To maintain and protect the surface of the glass cooktop,
follow these steps:
1. Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with
a ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps protect the top
and makes cleanup easier.
2. Daily use of ceramic cooktop cleaner will help keep the
cooktop looking new.
3. Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few drops of
cleaner directly to the cooktop.
4. Use a paper towel to clean the entire cooktop surface.
5. Rinse with clear water and use a dry cloth or paper
towel to remove all cleaning residue.
DO NOT heat the cooktop until it has been cleaned
thoroughly.
NOTE
IMPORTANT:
Spilled sugar or sugary foods, or melted plastic or foil on the
cooktop can damage the glass ceramic surface. Use a metal
razor scraper to remove these materials IMMEDIATELY while
the cooking surface is still hot. For your safety, use an oven
mitt or potholder while cleaning the hot cooking surface.
• Foods with a high sugar content include preserves,
ketchup, tomato sauce, jellies, fudge, candy, syrups, and
chocolate.
Burned-on Residue
1. While the cooktop is still hot, remove any burnt-
on deposits or spilled food from the glass/ceramic
cooking surface with a suitable metal razor scraper
(similar to scraping paint off of a windowpane - it will
not damage the decorated cooking surface). Hold
the scraper at an approximately a 30° angle to the
cooktop.
• Do not use a dull or nicked blade.
• To prevent burns, wear an oven mitt or potholder
while using the metal scraper.
NOTE
2. When the cooking surface has cooled down, apply a
few dabs (about the size of a dime) of an approved
cleaner in each burner area and work the cleaning
cream over the cooktop surface with a damp paper
towel.
