METALLIC PAINT (on some models)
Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaners with bleach, rust

CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP CLEANING
To avoid damaging the cooktop, do not use steel wool, abrasive
powder cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover or ammonia.
1. Remove food/residue with the Cooktop Scraper.
■ For best results, use the cooktop scraper while the
cooktop is still warm but not hot to the touch. It is
recommended to wear an oven mitt while scraping
the warm cooktop.
■ Hold the cooktop scraper at approximately a 45° angle
against the glass surface, and scrape the residue. It will
be necessary to apply pressure in order to remove the
residue.
Allow the cooktop to cool down completely before
proceeding to Step 2.
2. Apply a few dime-sized drops of affresh

to the affected areas.
■ Rub affresh
®
Cooktop Cleaner onto the cooktop surface
with the blue Cooktop Cleaning Pad. Some pressure is
needed to remove stubborn stains.
■ Allow the cleaner to dry to a white haze before
proceeding to Step 3.
3. Polish with a clean, dry cloth or a clean, dry paper towel.
■ Repeat steps 1 through 3 as necessary for stubborn
or burned-on stains.
