care & cleaning

Ceramic glass cooktop cleaning &

maintenance

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to

maintaining your Ceramic glass cooktop.

Prior to using your cooktop for the

first time, apply the recommended

CERAMA BRYTE® Cleaning Creme to

the ceramic surface. Clean and buff

with a non abrasive cloth or 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. 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.

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, or they may crack it.

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 or use a

non-

abrasive

plastic type

no-scratch

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

pad, applying pressure

as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the

cooktop for any other purpose.

Warning

do not

use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop.

The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can

chemically damage the ceramic glass surface.

caution

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are

turned to

oFF

and the cooktop is COOL.

imPortant

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you

use an abrasive type scratch pad. Only use cleaning

products that have been specifically designed for

ceramic glass cooktop.

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, then apply a few drops

of cleaning cream and buff surface clean.
