Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CookTop® Cleaning
Creme to the ceramic surface (on the web visit www.sears.com for replacement cooktop
cleaner, item number 40079). Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or no-scratch cleaning pad. This
will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves
a protective finish on the glassto 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 re-
moved 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 in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the
cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on
the glass cooktop, because they may cause it to crack.
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 chemically
damage the ceramic-glass
surface.
Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or
use a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad to clean the entire cooktop surface.
Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area
using a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad, applying pressure as needed. Do
not use the pad 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Damage to the ceramic glasscooktop may occur if you
use an abrasive type scratch pad. Only use cleaning products that have
been specifically designed for ceramic glass cooktop.
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.
