Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply some of
the cooktop cleaning cream supplied with your new
appliance. 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 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
(see Fig. 1). 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 or
dirty bottoms can
mark or scratch
the cooktop surface.
Do not:
Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.
Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom;
replace with clean cookware before using.
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.
Cooktop cleaning
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.
Stainless Steel
Surfaces
Always wipe or rub in the direction of
the grain. Clean with a soapy
sponge, then rinse and dry, or wipe
with Fantastik® or Formula 409®
sprayed on a paper towel. Protect
and polish with Stainless Steel
Magic® and a soft cloth. Remove
water spots with a cloth dampened
with white vinegar. Use Bar Keeper's
Friend® to remove heat
discoloration.
Plastic &
Controls
When cool, clean with soapy water,
rinse and dry.
Printed areas

petroleum based solvents.
WARNING:
DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot

your health, and can chemically damage
the ceramic-glass surface.
