Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended cooktop cleaning cream to the glass surface. Buff with
a non-abrasive cloth or pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves
a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause
metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be
removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop
cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed
prior to future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can
mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or
glass across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board
or worksurface in the kitchen. Do not cookfoods directly on the cooktop
surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass
cooktop, they may cause it to crack.
Cleaning Recommendations for Ceramic Glass Cooktops
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can
chem ca y damage the ceram c-g ass surface.
For light to moderate soil
Use a non-abrasive pad, cloth or paper towel with the cooktop cleaning cream to apply on the cooktop surface. Buff surface
until all soils and creams are removed. Mild dishwashing detergent with water may also be used. Make sure the cooktop is rinsed
thoroughly, leaving no detergent or cleaner residue.
For heavy, burned on soil
Use the same method as for light to moderate soil. Re-apply the cooktop cleaning cream and cover with a wet paper towel. Let
stand for about thirty minutes to loosen soil from surface. Scrub with cloth to remove remaining soil.
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding
scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop
cleaning cream and buff surface clean.
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content
These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the
ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop
surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After turning the surface
elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape
the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use
the same method for heavy or burned on soils.
