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 cooktop and it is available in most hardware stores. 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.
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal
markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed
immedi-
ately
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, they may cause it to crack or break.
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 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, 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.
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop
