Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance
Prior to using yourcooktopfor the firsttime, applythe recommended CookTop® Cleaning Creme (P/N 22-40079) to the ceramic
surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad. This wilt 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 work surface inthe kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop
surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass V_
cooktop, they may cause it to crack.
Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
_'!_,v*','-lq#ll`'[cllDO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can
chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface.
For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop@ Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or a 3M Scotch-Brite@ Blue Multi-
Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop iscleaned thoroughly, leaving
no residue.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops ofCookTop@ Cleaning Creme directly to thesoiled area. Rub thesoiled area usinga 3M Scotch-Brite@ Blue
Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the sponge you use to clean the cooktop
for any other purpose.
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.
_lrt_"_'_l"J"_'_ Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you
use any scrub pad other than a 3M Scotch-Brite® Blue Multi-Purpose
No Scratch Scrub Sponge.
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.
