PROTECTING THE SMOOTHTOP SURFACE
Cleaning
• Clean the cooktop before using it for the first time.
• Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep your cooktop looking good and can
prevent damage.
• If a spillover occurs while you are cooking, immediately clean the spill from the cooking area
while it is hot to prevent a tough cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe the spill with a
clean dry towel.
• Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the cooktop trim for a long period of time.
•
Do not
use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads, which will scratch the cooktop.
•
Do not
use chlorine bleach, ammonia, or other cleansers not specifically recommended for use
on a glass-ceramic surface.
Preventing marks and scratches
• Do not use glass cookware. It may scratch the cooktop.
•
Do not
place a trivet or wok ring between the cooktop and the pan. These items can mark or
scratch the cooktop.
• Make sure the cooktop and the pan bottom are clean.
•
Do not
slide metal pans across the cooktop.
Preventing stains
•
Do not
use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the cooktop surface. A film will remain, which
may cause stains on the cooking surface after the area is heated.
• Continuously cooking on a soiled surface can result in a permanent stain.
Preventing other damage
• Do not allow plastic, sugar, or foods with high sugar content to melt onto the hot cooktop.
Should this happen, clean immediately.
• Do not let a pan boil dry as this will damage the cooktop and the pan.
•
Do not
use the cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.
•
Do not
cook food directly on the cooktop. Always use the proper cookware.
