CARE AND CLEANING
CLEANING THE GLASS/CERAMIC
COOKTOP
CAUTION
• DO NOT use scrub pads or abrasive cleaning pads.
They may damage your 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:
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.
NOTE
DO NOT heat the cooktop until it has been cleaned
thoroughly.
IMPORTANT:
If any sugar or food containing sugar (preserves, ketchup,
tomato sauce, jellies, fudge, candy, syrups, chocolate,etc.),
plastic or foil melts on the cooktop, remove the molten
material IMMEDIATELY with a metal razor scraper (it will
not damage the decorated cooking surface) while the
cooking surface is still hot to avoid the risk of damage to
the glass-ceramic surface. For your safety, please use an
oven mitt or potholder while cleaning the hot cooking
surface.
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 approximate 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.
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.
