CARE AND CLEANING
Cooktop maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to
maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply
a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in
most hardware, grocery, and department stores)
to the ceramic surface. Clean and bu with a clean
paper towel. This will make cleaning easier when
soiled from cooking. Cooktop cleaning creams
leave a protective finish on the glass to help pre-
vent scratches and abrasions.
Sliding pans on the cooktop can cause metal mark-
ings on the cooktop surface. These marks should
be removed immediately after the cooktop has
cooled using 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 cook-
top.
• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on the
bottom; always use clean cookware.
• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work
surface in the kitchen.
• Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface
without a pan.
• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic
glass cooktop; they may cause it to crack.
ImPORTANT
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur
if you use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only
use cleaning products that have been specifically
designed for ceramic glass cooktops.
