General Care & Cleaning
Cleaning Your Cooktop
Before cleaning any part of the cooktop, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the cooktop is COOL. REMOVE
SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANINGS NOW WILL REDUCE THE
DIFFICULTY AND EXTENT OF A MAJOR CLEANING LATER.

minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry.

use abrasive cleaners on any of
these materials; they can scratch or dull the fi nish.

Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your Ceramic glass cooktop
Prior to using your cooktop for the fi rst time, apply the
recommended CERAMA BRYTE® Cleaning Creme to the
ceramic surface. 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 fi nish 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
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.
