J CLEANING THE GLASS/CERAMIC
J
COOKTOP
CAUTION:
• 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.
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:
Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it
1
with a ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps protect
the top and makes cleanup easier.
Daily use of ceramic cooktop cleaner will help keep
2
the cooktop looking new.
Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few drops
3
of cleaner directly to the cooktop.
Use a paper towel to clean the entire cooktop
4
surface.
Rinse with clear water and use a dry cloth or paper
5
towel to remove all cleaning residue.
NOTE: DO NOT heat the cooktop until it has been
cleaned thoroughly.
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.
CARE AND CLEANING
BURNED-ON RESIDUE
While the cooktop is still hot, remove any burnt-on
1
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.
NOTE:
• Do not use a dull or nicked blade.
• To prevent burns, wear an oven mitt or potholder
while using the metal scraper.
When the cooking surface has cooled down,
2
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.
NOTE:

3
surface with a clean, dry paper towel.
