Care & Cleaning
cooktoP cleaninG and Maintenance
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended Cleaning Creme to
the ceramic surface. A sample of that cleaning creme is supplied with your appliance and
you will find it in store. Clean and buff with a paper towel. 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.
consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop glass can cause metal mark-
ings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cook-
top 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, they may cause it to crack.

For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use
a paper towel to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the
cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not use the
towel you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.
For heavy, burned on soil:
First, clean the surface as described above. Then, if soils remain,
protect your hand with a potholder and carefully scrape soils
with a metal razor blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree
angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop clean-
ing cream and buff surface clean.
